Yes, but I'm never confident enough to take that CANCEL out, so what I
usually end up doing is writing a separate wrapper routine around the
request and giving that wrapper routine an ERROR keyword. In that
wrapper routine, the CATCH block sets ERROR=1. Then in the original
routine, I can call the wrapper and not have to worry that it will have
a runtime error, I can just check the ERROR keyword.

I just get worried when the logic in the CATCH block starts to get
complicated.
