RE: Is RPG 'DEAD"

Duane,

How can you throw an exception over the method with the try/finally?

Is this Java only? I don't see a way to do it in C#.

your monitor code will not run in the following situations:
- you call a COBOL program and it uses STOP RUN to exit.
</snip>

I have no idea, we don't have any COBOL here to test with, so I'll give
you this one.

- the called procedure sends an *ESCAPE message back to the caller
of your procedure
- the job is ended
</snip>

Throw an exception "over" the method with the try finally and it will also
not catch the exception.

An exception/error should cascade up the call stack unless it is so
eggregious that it is time to end the program. If you are having problems
with exceptions then you need write code that checks for the error
condition before attempting the operation
