Bernd -

Thanks much!

Really. :-)

Yes, I did not mention it, but when I catch conditions (in a generic sense
of the word) in a signal handler then CEE3DMP shows the real error location.
You can return from a signal handler so the stack is preserved. It appears
the stack is unwound on a catch() -- from which there is no return (to the
point of failure).

That is encouraging news on the CIB -- implies that a CIB may be created on
a C++ exception that leads to a catch(). 

Is the CIB documented anywhere? All I have found are the leawi.h header and
a couple of fields documented in the LE P/G.

What fields do you find useful? Is there anything close to the line number
and function or module name for the error?

Really?

If I have a similar situation for example with PL/1, where an exception is
caught by a PL/1 ON ERROR UNIT, I get a traceback which looks like that:

CEEDUMP  called by
ON ERROR unit  called by
some LE error handling stuff  called by
the routine getting the exception (with the CIB)  called by
PL/1 main (for example)  called by
LE initialization stuff.

that is, the stack at the time of the ON ERROR unit still contains the
routine with the exception. So I have no problem seeing the routine that
caused the error.
I guess: signal handling in C will do the same.

Is the try/catch logic in C++ that different?
