SOC7 abend- How to resolve it

sandeep kumar302 · New User Joined: 14 Mar 2012 Posts: 81 Location: India

I am getting SOC7 abend and not able to fix it. I know it is caused due to any one of the following-

1. Numeric data was not initialized.
2. A subscript or index contained an invalid value.
3. A comp-3 field had an invalid sign.
4. A group move overlaid a numeric field with non-numeric data.

Important parts of the program:

Do you have the message that indicates the offset in the load module where the abend occurred?

What did you get from the sysout of your step?

the sysout says as-

The system detected a data exception (System Completion Code=0C7).
From compile unit RP30H99C at entry point RP30H99C at compile unit unit offset +00000C28 at entry offset +00000C28
at address 13E00E18.

Find the field that gave you the S0C7, then look for all references to that field. You may need to backtrack a lot. Look for C28 in your compile listing.

CEEDUMP ==> Helps you in finding the last processed data with value of fields did you try looking into it?

Hi Akatsukami,
Apology for this but i am not sure where is the compile listing is present
. i mean is it a SPOOL or a library?

Bill O'Boyle

Probably in SDSF....

Hi Akatsukami,

In the code you gave at the beginning, field COST-CHG-PERCENT is not in COMP-3 format.
You are only getting us as mixed up as you are!

Can we see the contents of the ICCHGPCT file ?

Hi Marso,
Oh i am sorry, actually later i changed it while testing. Anyways it is not working with both the formats.

The content of the ICCHGPCT file is -

Have you been re-typing rather than pasting?

Have you decided whether to provide the earlier information I asked for?

Why did you thing 12 followed by three blanks could be adequately described by PIC 9(3)V99?

Earlier in your program you check for NUMERIC, but continue with the next code anyway. When you do get non-numeric, you will get a S0C7. That is one way with your code, and the output I asked for from your DISPLAYs would affirm or discount that as the actual cause for your S0C7.

If you can't find the compile listing, ask a colleague. It will be much quicker and more certain than asking us.

Thanks Bill,
The problem was with input file. I corrected it and then the issue was resolved.

thanks a lot
