All you need is exception handling around your display file I/O statements.
Inspect the job log of a job so-ended to see what exceptions (*ESCAPE
messages) are sent to the program.

If you want to enable reconnect, check the Device recovery action
(DEVRCYACN) attribute used for your users.  Start with their job description
to see how DEVRCYACN is set.  Hint: pick one of the disconnect options.  In
addition you will want to make sure their emulation sessions specify a
specific device name so they will attempt to use the disconnected session
when the relaunch their emulation session.
