Well you can throw your own error with the message APIs but it isn't the
same as CL's MONMSG.

Well, I'm not sure how many folks are in the RPG lab, but Hans is one of
them.

You have a point.  But then again, RPG isn't C, and I didn't really expect
RPG to use errno.  I'll have to tinker a bit more with MONITOR to see how to
throw my own exceptions in a more CL-ish way.  Because I support customers
back on V4 releases, I can't use MONITOR in production code yet, but I have
some test bed code I can play with...
