The problem with the absence of I/O facilities in ALGOL 60 was not
perhaps their absence per se as that what was invariably picked up and
used to make good this deficiency was FORTRAN I/O.

Many C dialects do support long jumps as a language extension.
They began in PL/I where they were/are called out-of-block GOTOs.

The things Binyamin and Peter have been saying are useful, but I have
a rooted preference for making some attempts at recovery in an ARR.
A dump after this attempt or these attempts fail is fine; a case can
indeed be made for taking the dump before the waters are too much

An ARR is nothing more than a fast ESTAEX. Anything you can do in one you
can do in the other.
So the question morphs into "what can you do with an ESTAEX or an ARR".
As with any recovery routine (including an FRR), as Binyamin noted, you
identify what to dump by requesting the dump (with SDUMP

I agree fully that there is nothing to worry about. However, for the
existing program I do not want to bother with ARCHLVL setting as it
requires me to analyze all code changes resulting from ARCHLVL=2.
However, for new programs I will take over your suggestion in the previous
post.

Yep, I compared the assembler listings. The result was that there was no
difference in code so that SPLEVEL SET=6 had no effect for this particular
program. I wanted to get rid of this ancient setting. So I happily did set
the SPLEVEL to 6.
