One can use a Before Trigger to prevent an I/O operation! To signal a
failure, have the trigger send an escape message to the caller, which
will be the database manager. The DB manager sees that and percolates
an I/O error back up to the HLL. In the case of an RPG program
performing an UPDATE, the UPDATE operation will receive the I/O error
and this is how the program knows the I/O did not happen.
