SOC7

Post by Krishna » Mon Oct 20, 2008 11:19 am

Reasons for SOC7 -
1. Moving non-numeric value to numeric field
2. Not initilizing the numeric variables before first use

How to solve -
This abend happens because of bad data in numeric field. ( usually comp-3 fields ). Need to find the field which contains bad data.

One standard way to find the location of abend is...
compile the program with compiler option LIST. It will give the listing of the cobol program while compiling.

Run the program... when program abends with SOC7
Go to spool - JESMSGLG step in spool , In abend message you can find offset similar to OFFSET=0002F6S2

Take last 4 bytes of this offset and search in listing ( open the compile job in spool ). It will show the line where the abend occurs. Normally abend occurs in MOVE statement OR in any of the calucaltion happend on that.

Hi,

Please check this link:

And by the way, it's S0C7 (S zero C 7) not SOC7.
