When entering a Journal Import with a closed date a journal number is returned but no journal

When using JRNL1_WS import, both import now and write to file, if one of the users inadvertently uses a closed date, it will process. It will return a journal number but the journal will not exist. Is this going to be fixed? Does anyone else have this issue? I would expect a return message such as an error notice. Some times it will take the next consecutive number, and other times it will use a number like 800, 900 or in the 1000 (we are in 663391). But mostly it take the next consecutive number.

My concern is this uses up a journal number and I would think auditors will have an issue with this. and of course, the user who isn't careful, will think their data is entered when it's not. Thoughts?
