Resolution:
Edit the code to use the TRY/CATCH construct instead of exception declaratives; then recompile.
Example:
In the following example, remove the $set statement to invoke the default perform-type(mf) directive.
$set perform-type(osvs) repository. class exception-class as "System.Exception". procedure division. declaratives. s1 section. use after exception exception-class. display "Hit exception" end declaratives. s2 section.
