Hi,

I ran a job executing a batch COBOL program and was getting S0C4 abend. The abend information from the sysout is as follows.

Abend code = S0C4 PSW at time of abend = 078D1000 8FE17A78

Register contents at time of abend :

Failing instruction at 0FE17A78 is at offset 00002D80 in program IGZCEV5

Failing instruction is 95C5302B - CLI 43(R3),X'C5'
*********************************************************

I just guessed the cause would be with my STEPLIB (the runtime modules CEEBINIT or IGZCEV5 might be missing in LIB).
My step lib was (when abended)
//STEPLIB DD DSN=SYS1.COB2LIB,DISP=SHR

I just included SYS1.CEE.SCEERUN too before COB2LIB and that stopped S0C4 abend, but had another abend (but that's the program user abend).

Now, I am not clear what exactly the issue was with S0C4 abend? What are the modules CEEBINIT / IGZCEV5 used for? Are they abend modules (trying to issue actual user abend, but the modules were missing from the steplib?) Could you please help me to understand this?

Hello,

CEEBINIT is an LE COBOL support module.

IGZCEV5 is a COBOL event handler.

If the run unit "knew" it/they would be available and this was not true, the task got lost and went thud.

I do not believe there is much to understand (other than getting the library concatenation straight). IBM used to use a phrase that covered situations like this - "The results may be unpredictable".

Before the question is asked: LE stands for Language Environment

With reference of information provided OFFSET mentioned is 00002D80. Go in to COMPILE LISTING of program and find line number of progam corresponding to that offset.

Note: line number can be near to that offset if offset does'nt match.
