Hello vamseepotti,

Basically you need to correct the offending data.

Many times the reason for SOC7 is an uninitialized numeric item. Examine that possibility first.

Many installations provide you a dump for run time abends ( it can be generated also by calling some subroutines or OS services through assembly language). These dumps provide the offset of the last instruction at which the abend occurred. Examine the compilation output XREF listing to get the verb and the line number of the source code at this offset. Then you can look at the source code to find the bug. To get capture the runtime dumps, you will have to define some datasets (SYSABOUT etc ) in JCL.

If none of these are helpful, use judgement and DISPLAY to localize the source of error.

Some installtion might have batch program debugging tools. Use them.
One of the tool is as below:

Hope this helps,

Regards

S0C7:

The S0C7 USUALLY COMES (ONE OF THE MANY REASONS) DUE TO INVALID NUMERIC OPERATIONS LIKE COMPARING A NUMERIC VALUE WITH LOW-VALUES OR HIGH-VALUES.
IN THIS CASE AS THE REPLY GIVEN BELOW U CAN GO THRU THE DUMP AND GET THE VERB AND RECTIFY THAT.
WE CAN ALSO RECTIFY THAT BY INITIALIZING THE NUMERIC VARIABLES PROPERLY WITH INITIALIZE VERB. U CAN ALSO USE ISNUMERIC CLAUSE IN COBOL TO OVERCOME THIS PROBLEMS.


HOPE THIS MIGHT HELP U.

I will summarize your posts:
