  WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CONVERTING TO UNIX AND HAVE COME UP
AGAINST A PROBLEM WITH ERROR PROCESSING. THE FOLLOWING IS AN 
EXAMPLE OF OUR OLD JCL:

  COMMAND
  COMMAND
  COMMAND
  EXIT
  ERROR-COMMAND
  ERROR-COMMAND
  IN THE ABOVE IF THE JOB WORKED PROPERLY IT ENDED AT EXIT,WHILE
IF ANY COMMAND ABORTED, IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE EXIT AND
PROCESS THE ERROR-COMMANDS. IS THERE SOME METHOD EQUIVALENT TO
TRAP THAT WE CAN USE TO EXIT ON ANY ERRORS? WE ALSO DON'T WANT 
TO HAVE TO CHECK AFTER EVERY COMMAND.
