S0C4 occurs mainly due to protection exception. It means
when you trying to move a larger variable to a small

Answer / sujan

Possible causes for the Abend SOC4 include:
1. Invalid address was referenced due to subscript error or
bad parameter passed
2. If we are moving a group move, then the receiving record
variable lenght is defined incorrectly, like the target
field size is less than the moving field size.
4. In Files, if we are trying to read or write a file which
was not open, then we can get SOC4.
5. Tried to goback in the SORT output procedure.
