XML PARSE exceptions that do not allow continuation

The XML parser cannot continue processing if any of the exceptions described below occurs.

No further events are returned from the parser for any of these exceptions even if the processing procedure sets XML-CODE to zero before passing control back to the parser. The parser transfers control to the statement in the ON EXCEPTION phrase, if specified, otherwise to the end of the XML PARSE statement.
