No, it is not a fact. It is a fact that you can cause an I/O error
with an incorrect BLKSIZE. It is false that you always get an I/O
error when you override dataset attributes on input.

A user error.

Don't create a PMR for a user error.

That isn't what you have been saying. You have been confusing open
with read and confusing the DSCB1 with the dataset itself.
