You have to check the SQLSST variable which is set after each SQL
operation.

for example:

     c     FetchFileA    begsr
     c/exec sql
     c+                  fetch next
     c+                    from FileACursor
     c+                    into :FileARec
     c/end-exec
     c                   select
     c                   when      SQLstt = '00000'
     c                   eval      EndOfFileA = false
     c                   when      SQLstt = '02000'
     c                   eval      EndOfFileA = true
     c                   when      %subst( SQLstt : 1 : 2 ) = '01'
     c                   exsr      SQLwarning
     c                   other
     c                   exsr      SQLError
     c                   endsl
     c                   endsr

In the SQLWarning and SQLError routines you'll have to define what
action needs to be taken.
