Rule Definition
All the Input/Output operations must be tested by the return code IOSTAT. Once the return code is not verified and tested, the artifact may run into unexpected behaviour causing the application to halt
Remediation
Always use a variable to capture the return code in and test this variable to see if the operation resulted in success or not.
