hi,
i am reading from a ps having 800000 records. the job usually takes 4 hrs to complete. but today it abended with S0C7. from sysdump, i found that it abended while reading a record. now i want to find out , which record caused the abend and that too as quickly as possible (say, within 30 min). can anybody suggest me how to do without using FILE-AID?

thanx in advance.
regards,
Priyabrata.

priyabrata mohanty,

Theres no easy way to find out on which record the program got abended if you do not have checkpoints, counters, displays in your programs.

You will need to analyze the flow of the program, identify the field at which the program gave S0C7 and then identify the valid data for that field and use file-aid to filter and see if any data mismatch is there for that field.

This is a crude way of analysis, see the DUMP for more details. You will need to analyze that only

One common cause of an 0C7 involves decimal operations on invalid decimal data (PD or ZD format). If that's the problem and you know which PD or ZD fields are being accessed, you could use the VERIFY or DISPLAY operator of DFSORT's ICETOOL to identify the invalid values and the records in which they're located. If you want to know more about this technique, let me know.

hi yeager,
thankx for your reply. i am really interested in the way in which DFSORT can be used to track the problem of finding the record causing soc7 abend. please let me know about it.

is it possible to split the large ps(say,having 800000 recs) to smaller files(say, having 200000 recs each) and find the problem record in less time?

thankx.

You can use a DFSORT/ICETOOL job to identify invalid values in ZD or PD fields. You can either use the VERIFY operator, or the DISPLAY operator (or both). Here's a DFSORT/ICETOOL job that will identify invalid values in a ZD field in positions 21-28 and invalid values in a PD field in positions 41-45.
