I tried, unsuccessfully, four or five years ago to write an EOF record with a 
non-zero key length but a zero data length, and it failed with a permanent I/O 
error.  I don't recall if this possible combination is documented in any 
Control Unit Reference book as not being allowed.

non-zero key length, thus carry information).
