SUBROUTINE SYS_SIGNAL (STATUS)
	INTEGER*4 STATUS
C*********************************************************************
C***
C***	This routine will take the status longword returned by a VMS
C***	system service, or runtime library routine and report to the
C***	SYS$OUTPUT device the error status. Since LIB$SIGNAL will
C***	stop the image if the severity is fatal, this routine will
C***    mask off the severity bit (bit 2) changing the error to a 
C***	warning.
