.
PL/I provides a description of an error, e.g. mentioning the condition
that has been raised, e.g., SUBSCRIPTRANGE, ZERODIVIDE.
The user can then take control and print the value of a variable or values of any
group of variables.  E.g., for a SUBSCRIPTRANGE error, the user can also print the
upper and lower bounds of the array, though this is usually not done,
it being sufficient to print the name of the variable(s) and value(s).
