No, not if you want your program to continue without giving an
exception to the user.

Unless you want the exception signalled to the user, you need to
code some mechanism to monitor for the possible exception, such as
coding an INFSR, or coding the I/O statement within a MONITOR group,
or coding the (E) extender.  MONITOR is the most flexible, and you
can check for particular exceptions without having to use %ERROR()
or %STATUS().
