Hi,

I am facing the S222 abend in very huge program. The TS team said that they have had a looping also, they have mentioned account number to be removed from the file in order to avoid the looping and ran the job second time which went fine.

When I ran a stand alone set up with the back up file, it runs smooth.

What would be the possible cause???

did You care to look at the manual for the meaning of the s222 abend icon_evil.gif
I did it for You

Quote:
222
Explanation: The operator, or an authorized time sharing option extensions (TSO/E) user, canceled the job without requesting a dump.

Source: Master scheduler
System Action: The system ends the job. In some cases, the system might write a dump even though a dump was not requested, depending on which system routine has control.

Programmer Response: Find out why the operator or TSO/E user canceled the job. Correct any errors and resubmit the job. If you want a dump, have the operator resubmit the job and then cancel it using the command CANCEL jobname, DUMP.


nothing we can do from here, follow the advice given in the manual

Or search the Forum, this issue is been discussed many times here:

www.ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=39178&highlight=s222
www.ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=34020&highlight=s222
www.ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=16726&highlight=s222
www.ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=1953&highlight=s222

By the way, have you tried talking to the operators to find out why the job was canceled? Unlike an S322 (for example), an S222 means someone physically killed your job.

According to the tester/TS team member, the job went in loop (And they might have requested the CANCEL JOB to Operator, but I am not sure) The thing which I want to know here is why the same job is not going in loop when I am doing the stand alone testing?

If You trust more Your TS team, why ask a forum icon_evil.gif

everything You said is just pure speculation...

You got an S222 abend??
it means that the operator or an authorized TSO user canceled the job full stop

the reason why in the test environment the job executed successfully could be basically...
for the loop theory - difference in the data processed
for a non loop theory -difference in the data volume being processed
( the huge amount of data made the program appear to be looping )

I am not angry I am just trying to make You understand what is going on?

a program got canceled by the operator
ask the operator why he/she took that decision

debugging can be carried on only with a methodology, not listening to rumors,
he said that he heard that somebody had possibly done ...

for example "removing account number" from where ?? jcl??
submitted to a different class, maybe ??
different job classes might be granted different time limits,
but then You wouldn' t have gotten a s222 but a s322

what kind of loop...
strict ( no i/o involved )
... memory corruption for array limits
wide ( i/o involved )
more difficult to debug, ( cpu is used, I/O is done, same behavior as when processing lots of data )

again investigate how the data being processed differs in the different environments
