The EOLN function tests for the end-of-line marker within a text
file and returns a Boolean value.
Syntax:
EOLN [[( file_variable )]]
The 'file_variable' is the name of a file variable associated
with a text file. If you omit the name of the file, the default
is INPUT.
The file must be in inspection mode and EOF must return FALSE
before EOLN is called. EOLN leaves the file in inspection mode.
The Boolean EOLN function returns TRUE when the file pointer is
positioned after the last character in a line. When the EOLN
function returns TRUE, the file buffer contains a blank
character.
The EOLN function returns FALSE when the last component in the
line is read into the file buffer. Another character must be
read to cause EOLN to return TRUE and to cause the file buffer
to be positioned at the end-of-line marker following the last
character of the line. If you use the EOLN function on a
nontext file, an error occurs.
See the "HP Pascal Language Reference Manual" for a complete
description of the EOLN function.
