File read logical error status code:46

Hi,

A batch job abended SOC4 saying:

neither FILE STATUS nor a declarative was specified for file INP01 in program.

I found the error cause could be:-

A sequential READ statement was attempted
on a file open in the input or I-O mode
and no valid next record had been
established because:

1. The preceding READ statement was
unsuccessful but did not cause an at
end condition
2. The preceding READ statement caused an
at end condition.

However the file provided to me was taken directly from Acceptance Environment. How do we check if the file contents are correct?

How do you approach this problem?

Thanks,
Regards,

Sounds more like a program logic problem. A read after at end condition seem likely, you should always include either the at end declaritive or a file status check.
