HI,

I am getting abend while executing ZAP instruction.Both destination & source fields are defined as Packed. For the first record of the file,its going fine,its abneding for second one onwards.The source filed has proper data even for second read...is their any equivalent command for ZAP?

A S0C7? Then look at the contents of the source field that caused it.
If the field sizes are the same, you could always MVC, but then you would have the garbage in the destination field and the CC would not get set.

Hello,

If this was true

there would be no 0c7 icon_confused.gif

Either there is bad data in the suspect field or the field being looked at is not the field causing the abend. It may be that data that was correct when read has been erroneously modified somehow before the ZAP is executed.

I could also be a protection (store or fetch) or a decimal overflow exception. I doubt the addressing exception applys any longer and I doubt very much that the OP is running on a machine that doesn't have the decimal feature installed (operation exception).........
