Condition

A READ (typically unformatted, or formatted with PAD='NO') tried to pull more data than the current record actually contains, and the runtime isn't allowed to pad the missing portion with blanks.

Fix

Confirm the record actually contains as much data as the READ's I/O list expects, or open the file with PAD='YES' (the default for formatted files) so short records are blank-padded instead of erroring.

Pending source verification. Not yet checked against official documentation.
