How is it that a "READ" can unlock an "EXTRACT"

Posted by Bob A on April 03, 2014 at 13:00:17:

found this code and comment:

6780 READ (COMPLC,0000) KEY=OLOCC$+INBR$ ! REMOVE EXTRACT

where the dummy FORMAT is:

0000 FORMAT ''

especially since there is no EXCP= on the READ..... How come this doesn't blow up, much less work?

Thanx
