RE: Error handling between ILE modules

["Dennis Lovelady" <iseries@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

May not be an exact fit, but the CEE4RAGE program may suit your need.  Scott
has done some articles that involve this, so a web search should yield nice
fruit.

In a nutshell, CEE4RAGE designates a procedure that will be called when the
activation group ends (your program could specify ACTGRP(*NEW)), no matter
how it ends.  So my thought is that the procedure designated by call to
CEE4RAGE could be the one-stop-shop for program exit, sending messages and
so on when appropriate.
