Barbara,

1) Out of curiosity, why is DUMP disallowed in the ON-EXIT block?

2) Can this limitation be circumvented simply by using a subroutine from within the block?

DUMP is disallowed by RNF0203 (in capital letters, no less!) What do

I'm guessing you're only interested in the dump output if the procedure failed due to an exception, and not if the procedure was cancelled due to the debug session ending or the subsystem ending or whatever.

So you could use both MONITOR and ON-EXIT. Keep your error reporting and DUMP in the ON-ERROR in the main part of the procedure, and just put the cleanup stuff like releasing the profile handle in the ON-EXIT.
