--- Comment #23 from Dominique d'Humieres <dominiq at lps dot ens.fr> --- > Jerry, concerning your cited standard: > "If the file contains an endfile record" suggests that there is some > special marker in the file to be read/written. >From the standard: > NOTE 9.2 > An endfile record does not necessarily have any physical embodiment. The > processor may use a record count or other means to register the position > of the file at the time an ENDFILE statement is executed, so that it can take > appropriate action when that position is reached again during a read > operation. The endfile record, however it is implemented, is considered > to exist for the BACKSPACE statement (9.8.2).
