your monitor code will not run in the following situations:
- you call a COBOL program and it uses STOP RUN to exit.
</snip>

I have no idea, we don't have any COBOL here to test with, so I'll give you this one.

- the called procedure sends an *ESCAPE message back to the caller
of your procedure
- the job is ended
</snip>

Throw an exception "over" the method with the try finally and it will also not catch the exception.

An exception/error should cascade up the call stack unless it is so eggregious that it is time to end the program. If you are having problems with exceptions then you need write code that checks for the error condition before attempting the operation
