Steps taken to resolve to resolve S0C7

1. Get the offet of the abend from sysout

e.g lets say the offset is 0005DA

2. Go the compile listing and locate the offset. This will be present in the assembly listing of the program.

000067  MOVE                                                                  
   0005D6  4820 8018               LH    2,24(0,8)               WS-COMP      
   0005DA  4E20 D100               CVD   2,256(0,13)             TS2=0        
   0005DE  F332 8020 D105          UNPK  32(4,8),261(3,13)       WS-DEST      
   0005E4  96F0 8023               OI    35(8),X'F0'             WS-DEST+3    
000068  DISPLAY                                                               
   0005E8  5820 905C               L     2,92(0,9)               TGTFIXD+92   
   0005EC  58F0 202C               L     15,44(0,2)              V(IGZCDSP )  
   0005F0  4110 A1F6               LA    1,502(0,10)             PGMLIT AT +490
   0005F4  05EF                    BALR  14,15                                
000069  DISPLAY                                                               
   0005F6  58F0 202C               L     15,44(0,2)              V(IGZCDSP )  
   0005FA  4110 A1E0               LA    1,480(0,10)             PGMLIT AT +468
   0005FE  05EF                    BALR  14,15                                  

3. Get the statement number from the listing, here the offet 0005DA is the expansion for the statrement number 000067.

4. Using the statement number obtain the statement.

which would be something like this:

000067                       MOVE WS-COMP TO WS-DEST. 

Now this is the problematic statement.

Look in to this to resolve the abend.

Hope this helps.

S0C4 may be due to 1.Missing Select statement(during compile) 2.Bad Subscript/index 3.Protection Exception 4.Missing parameters on called subprogram 5.Read/Write to unopened file 6.Move data from/to unopened file 6. Trying to delete a file which is in production (or to be more precise – trying to delete a dataset which has no access by the user to delete that particular dataset)

Hello All,

Its a nice explanation about the S0C7 abend.

well, i need to know one more thing, please explain me.

Suppose, I have an Input file(recieved from Client on daily basis). we have a mapping program, so that before processing the file, we can know if there is any Bad data.

My query is,

The Input file contains  5000 records and two of them give S0C7 abend.By using the Offset value in Sysout i got which field gives the abend. Can anybody tell me, how to get which exact records give the S0C7 error?

if i use file-aid i may get the bad record but it will take a long time to go thru all 5000 recs. is there any short/easy way to know about the Bad records?

Thanks in advance...

as explained  earlier regarding the s0c7 by some of our predecessors.I follow a list of stepd to b followed to trac the error.

1) once u get rthe offset value track the statement and check the variables tthat r getting used in the statement

2) previous to the statement write  a display command with the corresponding fields that cause to soc7.

ex: move x to a b c

in the above staement if soc7 occurs u write a display statement above to move statement

display a b c

move x to a b c

Hi GeethaThanks for giving answer

Any kind of 0Cx is a message code for exception. The different code depends on different reasons for it. For instance:

0C4:1)Protection exception;2)Segment-translation exception;3)Page-translation exception;

0C7: Data exception.

The resovle process was explained in previous feedback. That's very detail and understandable.

For Soc4 you need to see whether any mismatch DD attributes between Cobol program and Run JCL i.e any missed DD satements or mismatch attributes between Cobol and JCL. If you are using Table handling make sure that it's won't access outside Table (outside boundry)

To get the bug records, put display statement of the key/acc no of the file before the statement where (in the program) it is abending ; it will give you the list of accounts in spool.

other wise you have to see in the dump; there will be value populated; but you have to know how to read dump datas.

The only simple solution i can think of is, try expediting the code and press F12. Its should abend and stop at the problem statement.

This would give you the record details and values you need to identify the bad record.

Once you have noted it out, just correct the values required to complete the flow and press F12 again. If you have another bad record, it will stop exactly at the point which leads to ABEND.

Thus you can identify both the bad records this way.

Thanks, hope it is useful.

Hi friends,

just keep the disposition as DISP=( , CATLG,CATLG) your file will process the up to the good record and from the abended record wont processes. i.e
if the file contains 5000 records and the 393th record is bad record, the o/p file processes up to 392 record only & remaining will not processed.

if any mistakes are there please excuse me friends

Hi Srinivasulu. you are right. Also, you can find the error record. you can get the error record from ABENDAID. Search for Current record in ABENDAID and locate that record in Input file. In production support I suggest to skip the error record and process the rest of the records if timing taking to correct the error record.
