The purpose of a recovery routine is to recover from a situations that
you have otherwise not programmatically not catered to. If no such
recovery is possible, i.e. a request cannot be retried, you cannot

required, you abend.
In essence if you cannot recover or plain ignore what happened, you abend.
And indeed - you always use ESTAEX for any number of reasons.
