This is a strange error to be getting. I'd expect to see such an error on
reading the file but not normally on writing it. Are you certain you aren't
running out of disk space or filling your quota? This sort of thing could
cause such an error. Out of interest what is the contents of prod15.rst,
does it get written successfully at all? As in during the run and then at
some point while it is being updated it fails?

All the best
Ross
