I did not say that iostat had to be used. However, one can find things like: 9.10.1 Error conditions and the ERR= specifier If an error condition occurs during execution of an input/output statement, the position of the file becomes indeterminate. 9.2.3.3 File position after data transfer If an error condition (9.10) occurred, the position of the file is indeterminate. If one explicitly uses IOSTAT= in an IO statement, it may be prudent to actually check its value.
