Precedence: bulk

I now insert rows using a transaction. Sometimes psql halts with an error:
ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block

I issue a rollback; command but cannot continue processing. What is the
appropriate way to respond to that error after fixing the syntax error?

TIA,

Rich
