We have had substantial experience with condition handlers. The only
thing you have to be careful about, is using some of the routines
that Digital has provided as part of the FORTRAN language merely as
a migration facility. One routine, in particular, ERRSET is not
recommended since it does cause inconsistent results. However, using
the other condition handler facilities, such as LIB$SIGNAL,
LIB$ESTABLISH or LIB$MATCH work quite well. If you have access to
the Colorado Support Center System, they provide you with an excellent
example of how to write a FORTRAN program using condition handlers.
