Resolution:
Edit the code to use the TRY/CATCH construct instead of exception declaratives; then recompile.
Example:
In the following example, remove the $set statement to invoke the default perform-type(mf) directive.
      $set perform-type(osvs)
       repository.
           class exception-class as "System.Exception".
       procedure division.
       declaratives.
       s1 section.
       use after exception exception-class.
           display "Hit exception"
       end declaratives.
       s2 section.
