I did ask specifically about that! Now that you have it set to TRAP(ON), you ought to at least give the try/catch thing a go again. It seems to me more likely to "work" with less fooling around than a CEEHDLR. You can always go (back) to the condition handler if the language primitive doesn't do what you need.
