First read about the ESCAPE and RETURN commands (help escape, help return)

I would do this:
  !job....
  !if not finfo(file_you_want,"exists") then
  !   echo some message to $stdlist...  -- or -- tellop ... etc.
  !   escape [error_number]   --or--
  !   return
  !endif
  !# execute the rest of the job ...
