Handling Exceptions - Its That Ole COBOL SOC 7

Team. We will assume that any deployed CABOOSE application will only raise an exception if it cannot safely proceed without corrupting its internal state. This is the equivalent of a COBOL "SOC-7" condition code. In this case we will graciously generate an error view which contains the exception message. This will aid in debugging during development. In production, this would be unacceptable since it would over burden the application user with information which would not be of use for him. During that phase, we will record any "SOC-7" style exceptions in a process history file and provide the user with an error view that provides a graceful exit. These first few steps are our tasks for the week. Lets get busy. La-La.
