EOF() not recognized in a long file

EOF function is ignored in the following code!
I am unable to read the file with the length of 20,000kb completely.
After reading 7,000kb, after which the program continues execution
indefinitely. It reads the first 1500 records (7,000kb) correctly,
then structure elements are assigned blanks while the execution
continues indefinitely.
Is there a finite file size allowed for reading, or in using EOF()
function?

Its probably because you are hitting a read error (probably some bad format
in your file). Your code does not test for this, which is why it loops for
ever.

Here how you should do it

if (existfile>>dummy1>>dummy2>>byymm)
{
...
while (existfile >> Fp.cdcno >>Fp.ethnic >>Fp.age[color=blue][color=green]
>> Fp.priorser >>Fp.priorvio >>Fp.tcid
>> Fp.sen_type >>Fp.net_term >>Fp.finalest >>Fp.cur_ser
>> Fp.cur_vio >>Fp.in_cnty >>Fp.iseqno
>> Fp.month >>Fp.loc >>Fp.rstat
>> Fp.parcnty)[/color][/color]
{
...
}
...
}
if (existfile.eof())
{
// got to end of file
}
else
{
// some other error
}

It's a FAQ, but...
