EOF

The EOF function indicates that the end of a file or HTTP response has been reached.

Syntax

endReached%% = EOF([#]fileNumber&)

endReached%% = EOF([#]httpHandle&)

Description

• fileNumber& or httpHandle& is the number of the file or HTTP connected being read. # is not required.
  • fileNumber& is a file opened using OPEN.
  • httpHandle& is a HTTP connection opened using _OPENCLIENT.
• Returns 0 until the end of a file. This avoids a file read error.
• Returns -1 (true) at the end of the file.
• Note that GET can return invalid data at the end of a file. Read EOF after a GET operation to see if the end of the file has been reached and discard last read.
  • This is not a problem when using EOF with HTTP connections with a variable length string, the string will always only contain valid data or be empty.
