The mystery of the missing (compound) variables.

It's a mystery. What happened to the missing compound variable "array"
members in the last record ?

So I use a text file with a max 50 records as a number all alone on
its line (so I can recover it as a number) and a following space-
separated text string line which can be PARSEd. Code snippet:

IF STREAM(file,"C","QUERY EXISTS")\="" THEN DO
CALL STREAM file,"C","OPEN READ"

rec_num = 0

DO FILELN = 1 TO 50
IF STREAM(file,"S")\="READY" THEN
LEAVE
ln = LINEIN(file)
IF LEFT(ln,1) > 0 THEN DO
rec_num = rec_num + 1
array1.rec_num = ln
SAY "Rec Num "rec_num array1.rec_num
END
ELSE DO
PARSE VALUE ln WITH " "array2.rec_num" "array3.rec_num"
"array4.rec_num
/* displays records correctly */
SAY array2.rec_num array3.rec_num array4.rec_num
END
END

CALL STREAM file, "C", "CLOSE"
END

/* displays all records correctly EXCEPT FOR THE LAST RECORD (I.E.
WHEN THEY =.REC_NUM) */
SAY array2.rec_num array3.rec_num array4.rec_num

What happened to the last record which displayed correctly inside the
DO loop, but is missing outside it ?

This runs in ZOC with its Enterprise Alternatives Inc flavor of REXX.
Anyone with any clues to this dastardly outcome ?
