The hole gets deeper...

You can't directly GOTO the line after the error occurred.  Basically, 
you'll need to set a flag to indicate where you are, then your *PSSR does 
an ENDSR *DETC.  Now that you're at the top of the detail calcs, you check 
your flag and GOTO the spot after the error, something like this, perhaps:

H DEBUG 
F* Test date on display file 
FTstDatFM  CF   E             Workstn 
 
   
 * If an error was trapped by the *PSSR, WhereAmI will be populated 
 * with the last known "good" position, so we need to return there. 
C                   Select 
C                   When      WhereAmI='GetChg' 
C                   GoTo      ChgFailed 
C                   When      WhereAmI='GetCh2'    
C                   GoTo      Ch2Failed 
C                   EndSl 
 
   
 * Housekeeping 
C                   Movel     *Blanks       WhereAmI          6 
C                   Z-add     0             pgmstat           5 0 
 
   
 * Show the first screen 
 * If a date is bad on the screen because of CA03, all we really want to

 * go on with life.  The *PSSR will get control, return to *DETC and the

C                   Move      *DATE         ProMasDatW 
C                   Movel     'GetChg'      WhereAmI

C                   SetOn                                        LR

C     *PSSR         BEGSR 
C                   Eval      PgmStat=%Status

C                   If        PgmStat=00112 
C                   Movel     '*DETC '      Action            6 
C                   Else 
 * all other errors are fatal.  Kill the program so the caller will know 
 * we did an abend.
C                   Dump
C                   Movel     '*CANCL'      Action
C                   EndIf
C                   ENDSR     Action

It's ugly.
