Library /sys$common/syshlp/basichelp.hlb HANDLER  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  The HANDLER statement marks the beginning of a  detached  handler.   A
  detached  handler  must be delimited by a HANDLER statement and an END
  HANDLER statement.

  Example

  HANDLER err_hand
      IF ERR = 50 THEN PRINT "INSUFFICIENT DATA"
         RETRY
         ELSE EXIT HANDLER
      END IF
  END HANDLER
