SOC7 abend occure due to the data exception or mostly due
to moving of non-numric data into numric data field.

we can resolve this correcting the data format.

Answer / munish

SOC7 is data exception and can occur when packed
instructions are used. For its resolution , we have to
correct the data or conversion formatin the program.

Answer / vidhya

Q31) Basically you need to correcting the offending
data. Many times the reason for SOC7 is an un-initialized
numeric item.
Examine that possibility first. Many installations provide
you a dump for run time abend’s ( it can be generated also
by calling some subroutines or OS services thru assembly
language). These dumps provide the offset of the last
instruction at which the abend occurred. Examine the
compilation output XREF listing to get the verb and the
line
number of the source code at this offset. Then you can
look at the source code to find the bug. To get capture
the
runtime dumps, you will have to define some datasets
(SYSABOUT etc ) in the JCL. If none of these are helpful,
use
judgement and DISPLAY to localize the source of error.
Some installation might have batch program debugging
tools. Use them.

SOC7: NON-NUMERIC FILEDS ON NUMERIC FIELDS
TO RESOLVE: GO TO SPOOL AND COPY THE OFFSET VALUE AND TYPE
IN THE COMMAND LINE F OFFSETVALUE, IT GOES TO THE
PARTICULAR PLACE SO THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE IT.

Answer / soumya

Actualy S0C7 abends normaly happens due to wrong data/ non-
numeric data in numeric field.By wrong data i mean to say
like if key is duplicated or some garbage data.

The resolution can be done in two ways :
1)code fix by which you can fix the cobol program code and
stage it
2)By deleting the bad records from the file

But be carefull about the file deletion if its a batch
process and some other jobs depend on the p[articular
job,so it can effect to other if any wron fixation done.

Answer / mohi

go to spool and check what data is moved to the variable
present in the code. and definitely u will come to know
what to do..

We can use PASS with permanent datasets also. THEN Which is the condition in which we may use PASS (instead of KEEP) with permanent data sets, while there is no need to specify UNIT and VOL for them like temporary data sets (in cas we use KEEP for permanent data sets) ?
