I'm not saying use only one or the other. All have their place. *PSSR is very closely tied to the cycle, so the options on the return (?) are related only to that - hardly any are useful in current development. It is useful as a last resort in the event that errors are not handled in a more local way, such as using MONITOR-ENDMON.

No, I wouldn't do a global monitor as you suggest - not usually. That'd be like doing a global MONMSG in CL without an error handler. Not good!

I can maybe see some use, being sure to have something to handle unexpected errors, but I prefer using a local MONITOR block when I know what I want to process.

For clarity of code, I would rather use *pssr for this. I guess each person
has his/her own preference :).

/free

// global error monitor
monitor;
//code for main procedure goes here
on-error;
// handle something is wrong somewhere;
endmon;

*inlr = *on;

/end-free

what is wrong with *PSSR? It is very useful when writing RPG program
that can be called from a web application. I wouldn't think it would be
a good idea for this type of program to go into MSGW status.

BTW: why should anybody use overlay, OVRDBF, *PSSR...

Ok, I know everyone is going to cringe on this one.

I'm having trouble converting from RPGLE free to fixed
format with this statement:
/free
fnd = %lookup(%subst(bighunkdata:gt:len) : xmlfield ); /end-free

I can't resist a challenge ...

Steve Needles already posted this solution that is guaranteed
to be equivalent to the original:
c eval fnd =
c %lookup(%subst(bighunkdata:gt:len):xmlfield)

In case that's still too free, here's another (untested)
version that I believe is also equivalent.
C *like define xmlfield temp
C len subst(p) bighunkdata:gttemp
C z-add 1 fnd
C temp lookup xmlfield(fnd)
10
C *in10 ifeq *off
C z-add 0 fnd
C endif
