Issue
    The editor writes:
    As mentioned in discussion of paper 02-132r1, there needs to be
    a note discussing the iostat and iomsg arguments.  The note
    needs to mention that the values of these arguments are not
    necessarily passed through as is to the parent I/O statement.
    If we don't mention this explicitly, a lot of people will
    assume that the value is passed through and that we just forgot
    to specify that.

Edits
[206:1–]    Delete unresolved issue 365.  Replace it with the
following note.
Note 9.45a
The values of the iostat and iomsg arguments set in a user-defined
derived-type input/output procedure need not be passed to all of
the parent data transfer statements.  For example, they might be
modified, combined with other error messages, or the problem
eliminated by intermediate user-defined derived-type input/output
procedures.
