Most of the time, the graceful exit.  Currently use QMHMOVPM and return to the
called cl program for it to display the message and send a message to the 
"idiot"
(me).

Sometimes *GETIN or *DETL.  Of course, this is useless if program is not doing 
rpg
fixed cycle.

Like a divide overflow,  record locks,  receiver variable length not sufficient
etc.    anybody heard of 10000.0001 and eval?  I am sure there are more 
situations,
but *CONTINUE leaves the control of the error in our hands.   *GETIN, *TOTC, 
*DETL,
*CANCL  etc. are just inflexible.  Give me the *CONTINUE and an updated PSDS on 
the
error and I can take care of myself.  PSDS does have some vague statement number
field available 8-)
