Hi,
I have some problem with RESTART logic. I will read one input file and if roll number matches with database i will update some amount and if not matches with database i will write to error file.
While running the program after some 100 records program abended.
In that 15 records were error records. I restarted the program and it ran fine. But here the problem is how to retrieve that 15 error records in the previous abend run. The current o/p file after restart run didn't contain the 15 records.
Regards
R KARTHIK |

In the first run itself ,you should define the error file as =(MOD,CATLG,CATLG) so that it is not deleted even in abends.
Hope this helps. |

HI,
My problem is when the program abends the file doesnt even created.
I think only after CLOSE statement the contents from buffer will be written to disk. The program abends before executing CLOSE statement.

This depends where do you issue the check point in the program -- if check-point was issued when those 15 records were already written to o/p you'll have them in the output else you don't. |

Hi,
Sorry. I didnt get u what u are telling about check point. In my program database abend may happen at many places. So are u saying that we have to use multiple CLOSE statements.
Regards

Not quite true -- if a buffer is filled then it is written and the next buffer starts filling. The LAST buffer being written to won't be written until the file is closed, of course. So the actual behavior will depend upon how many records you are writing to the file as well as what the file buffer (block) size is.
Checkpoint processing allows for recovery when some database records have been written but not all of them. Read up in the language Programming Guide for the language you're using about checkpoint processing and how to implement it. |

In what OS environment are you executing?
what is the cobol version?
are you using qsam as output file?
you could try the write-immediate clause, if it still exists.
what are your
File SELECT statement
File FD statement
I/O statements
DD statement for the file in your JCL? |

Hi R KARTHIK,
If the error volume isn't too high you might want to define the error file as unblocked and define only one buffer.
The error recs will be physically written immediately and all will be in the file after the ABEND. |
