Reporting Exception Conditions

RDF provides the ability to document an exception condition in a report. You can detect an exception condition when no PRODUCE statements were executed for a report or when the value of the return code exceeds a user‑specified value. Two group functions are available to handle these conditions:

• <<EMPTY>>-Data following prints when no PRODUCE statements execute for the report.
• <<ABORT>> RC x-Data following prints when the value of the return code is equal to or greater than x at the time the report is released (either automatically when the program terminates or by RELEASE REPORT WITH ABORT).
