I specifically asked for an "idiomatic" solution, not necessarily the

I don't intend to be presumptuous with this post, but count the number
of replies with an idiomatic resignalling example. In my opinion, this
is indicative that there isn't an idiomatic resignalling example to be had.

I've seen a lot of CL, OCL, and even JCL over the years, and it's my
personal experience that these programs/scripts percolate errors only
rarely, and not as a matter of course. I'd go so far as to say that
most midrange jobs simply fall over with 'white messages' and let the
operator/help desk deal with the fallout.

Error 'handling' for the most part seems to be limited to monitoring for
very common messages like

dltf qtemp/somefile
monmsg cpf2105
cpyf prod/somefile qtemp/somefile...
ovrdbf somefile qtemp/somefile
call hll...

If there's an error message idiom, that's what it is.
