Hi,

As the name suggests -- System abends are the abends which are due to some "system error" e.g. S0C7, S0C4 while user abends are the ones which depends on "user conditions" e.g. U4038 etc.

System ABEND codes are prefaced by an S, and user ABEND codes are prefaced by a U. The system ABEND codes are generally the nondeliberate ones.

Following is my understanding on userabends and system abends.

User abend means language environment (ex. COBOL ) producing an abend in the place of operation sytems abend ( system abend ).

When a program abended , it happens at operation system level...
If language has the capbility to recognize that abend, system abend will be converted to user abend with more details otherwise you will get system abend.

At high level, Every user abend has one sytem abend behind that.
