I agree. Once the error variable is set up there is no reason to change it
or clear it.
The value only lives until the next command anyway.
I have never found any use for SET ERROR VARIABLE ON/OFF
If I need to catch and retain an error value I simply set another variable
to equal it immediately.
Of course, all this does not mean that that someone somewhere hasn't found a
unique way to use this command!
In all my 25 years with RBASE, I have never seen anyone mention making use
of this command.

For what it's worth, I don't think I have ever used the "set error variable

Just a:
set var vError INT = NULL
set error variable vError

"You must always set ERROR VARIABLE off, rather than clearing it with the
CLEAR VARIABLES command. "
However when I issue :
