SOC4 means address exception

Eg: when we are trying to move a value into a variable which is having more length than defined

01 var_A pic 9(05) value 12345.

01 var_B pic 9(05) value 11111.

01 var_c pic 9(04).

procedure division.

000-para.

compute Var_c var_A + Var_B.

We will get address exception

Reason var_c can't accomidate the variable of length more than its declaration.

One more instance where we can get SOC4 is

while using perform statement in a prg when u try to read an element

beyond the limit.

SOC7 - Data Exception.

eg: when we try to move a non-numeric data into a numeric data item.

SOC4 abend may be due to the following reasons.

1.Missing SELECT statement ( During Compile time)

2.Bad Subscript/Index

3.Read/Write attempt to unopened file

4.Move data to/from unopened file

5.Missing parameters in called subprogram

SOC7 abend may be due to the following reasond

1.Numeric Operation on Non-numeric data

2.Coding past the maximum allowed subscript.

3.Un-initialize working storage.

Please let me know if there more reasons for the above mentioned abends.
