Maybe I am missing the point here but it doesn't appear that it would do 
what I have been doing for over 20 years with Business Basic.  There I 
enter a line saying SETERR 9200 at the beginning of the program and the 
program automatically goes to that line when an error occurs anywhere in 
the program.  From there I can display a message saying what is wrong 
and the operator can fix the problem and continue with the program or 
abort the program.
Your example seems to require that I call a method anytime I run into a 
problem.  This would seem to require that each possible problem area be 
surrounded by a while loop much like I have done in C.
