Then what is???

Monitor;
On-Error;
EndMon;

it is no where as comprehensive and feature rich as exception handling
in java or c#. In RPG if an *escape message is sent to a procedure
lower on the invocation stack, your on-error ... endmon code will not
be executed. In C#, the try ... finally handler will be called. You
can rig the equivalent to try finally in RPG and ILE, but it is a lot
of code.
