Input past end of file (Error 62)

  • Article

You can't read past the end-of-file position. This error has the following cause and solution:

  • An Input # or Line Input # statement is reading from a file in which all data has been read or from an empty file. Use the EOF function immediately before the Input # statement to detect the end of file.

  • You used the EOF function with a file opened for Binary access. EOF only works with files opened for sequential Input access. Use Seek and Loc with files opened for Binary access.

For additional information, select the item in question and press F1 (in Windows) or HELP (on the Macintosh).
