You can set the cobol error handler so that any unmonitored error will call a specified program. See example below where MP08003 is our standard error handler;

Subject: [COBOL400-L] Errors when calling programs
Hi.
In a COBOL-program, I'm calling a Pascal-program(no source avalible!).
Now and again this Pascal-pgm returns a PSE-message which, of course,
makes my COBOL-pgm stop.
I want to take control over this in my COBOL-pgm, and issue a programmed
error message instead.
I can slightly remember someting about coding an 'on-error'-routine in
COBOL?
Or other ways to come around this, please?
Mvh.
