Terminology is critical in IT, where similar terms may mean very different things. You CANNOT "throw" an error in COBOL -- maybe in Java on the mainframe, but in general mainframes do not "throw" errors -- period. You are COMPLETELY wrong in using this phrase with reference to a COBOL program. You may get an ABEND, or (as in your case) get a compiler error, but nothing got thrown.
