WINDOWS   | MS-DOS          | MACINTOSH kbprb The information in this article applies to:
 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a
 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a
 * Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.5b

SYMPTOMS
When you are running an .SPR file with an empty database, an &quot;End of file encountered&quot; error message will be displayed. The line flagged for the error will be a READ CYCLE command.

CAUSE
When FoxPro tries to execute the READ CYCLE command, it cannot find any records to display for editing; hence, the error message appears.

RESOLUTION
Before running a screen or program that issues a READ CYCLE command, append a blank record (using the APPEND BLANK command) or add a valid record to the database.
