Determing EOF of sequential file

Hi All, I'm reading a sequential file into a transformer stage and want to to special processing on the last row. Is there an easy way to determine the last row in the file? I was thinking of just marking the last row with a flag before reading. Is there an easier way?

Cannot make out your exact equirements, however you can try the tail stage.

As sud said..use Tail stage and set the number of lines to 1 this will give you the last row in your file. Now, you can compare your key field to the key field of this tail -1 record and then process accordingly.

Hope that helps
