You can have MONITOR/ENDMON group or, opcode extender or %error BIF. By using any of them you can handle errors in RPG.
Most of the time I use %error BIF and monitor/endmon group.

Subject: The ILE Question I Forgot to Ask
Just got back from the RPG/DB2 Summit in Orlando. Scott, Jon, Susan,
Paul, et al were all great.
But I forgot to ask how I should handle unexpected errors in a
prototyped procedure. The proc attempted to write a duplicate key and
auto-cancelled. It returned to the caller and halted there, allowing me
to dump, but that was too late, of course.
Do I have to anticipate every possible error in the proc? Can't it be
made to halt at the point of failure so I can get a dump at a point
where it'll do me some good?
Thanks,
Arthur Marino
