no,
but if you were to provide a sample of your sql,
how you are running the program (COBOL, PL1, C, ??)
and your environment (z/os, 390, r-series, MVS, VS, db2 vsn 6,7,8?)
someone could help.

S0C4's are an address violation.

are any of your host variables in linkage?

Hi

The program is COBOL (Enterprise 3.4) - z;Os

The piece of the program is

S4200-BILLING-SPAN SECTION.

prl display 'inside s4200'

*****EXEC SQL
***** DECLARE BILLING-SPAN-CR CURSOR FOR
***** SELECT FK_EMPGRP_LVL_1_ID ,
***** FK_BILL_ENT_ID ,
***** LAST_MAINT_TS
***** FROM BILLING_SPAN
***** WHERE BILL_TO_INDICATOR IN ('GP','DV','RU'
*****END-EXEC
prl display 'inside s4200-DECLARE'
prl display 'sqlcode=' sqlcode

EVALUATE TRUE
WHEN SQLCODE = +0
CONTINUE
WHEN OTHER
MOVE C-U5240 TO W-ABEND-CODE
PERFORM S9999-SHOW-STOPPER
END-EVALUATE

prl display 'inside s4200-OPEN1'
nterprise COBOL for z/OS 3.4.1 MTVPMCB1 Date 1
----+-*A-1-B--+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6--
*****EXEC SQL
***** OPEN BILLING-SPAN-CR
*****END-EXEC
PERFORM SQL-INITIAL UNTIL SQL-INIT-DONE
CALL 'DSNHLI' USING SQL-PLIST21
prl display 'inside s4200-OPEN2'

EVALUATE TRUE
WHEN SQLCODE = +0
CONTINUE

pleonard,

What is the SQLCODE after the Open Cursor?

Hi,

Recently we had a similar issue, a program(COBOL-DB2-CICS) which was executing fine a long time suddenly abended in Production. We compiled the same in Test region; but ended up in the same error. It was abending on the very first CALL 'DSNHLI'.

Later we found that due to some recent upgrades done in DB2, the module DSNHLI had some issues. If I remember correctly DSNHLI was present in both the CICS as well as DB2 libraries. The problem got solved by swapping the order of STEPLIB datasets for CICS/DB2 modules.

pleonard,

Did your shop have any recent updates? Is this a totally new program which got abended?

This a totally new program COBOL-DB2-batch processing XML document.
I don't have the information about new updates in DB2 but I can ask to my System Administrator.
