Where (or perhaps, what) is EOF for a non-sequential dataset? There is no logical place to put it; "the end" depends on the logic of the program reading the dataset. There is no place to put EOF for an empty dataset except at the beginning, of course, but putting it there is no more logical that leaving it out altogether.
