    My copy of the System Call Reference manual states that the
    NAME_$READ_DIR call returns a status value of either STATUS_$OK or
    NAME_$NO_MORE_ENTRIES (if the end of the directory has been reached).
    The SR9.2.6 insert file /SYS/INS/NAME.INS.PAS does not define the
    constant NAME_$NO_MORE_ENTRIES. Any hints as to what status code
    is the one which is actually returned?

The documentation is in error.  (The error is known already and the next
version of the documentation will be fixed.)  The actual behavior is
that you know there are no more entries when the returned entry count
(output parameter) is zero.
