John,

Based on what you are saying, I would suggest that
you add triggers to your file that prevent "Pgma does
very bad things to data". That way you can help them
deal with the problem in when it occurs.

Both. Much of my own code will use the error handler, but I also have
to
provide for customer written exit programs. In the event of an error, I
need
to log the offending program. For example:

- client writes a custom version of PgmA
- client's PgmA is placed higher on the *LIBL that the package version
- client's PgmA does very bad things to data
- programmer realizes his error, cleans up job logs, then calls
support
- I spend *hours* trying to figure out what went wrong, based on the
false
pretense that one of my programs was at fault.

That scenario was the driving force for an error handler with custom
logging
features, but there are other uses once one begins to think about the
possibilities.

John Taylor
