How TO Resolve SOC7 Abend

S0C7 Error the description comes in last line of run JCL SDSF

Press F11 (to scroll to right) to see the offset value clearly

COM1 is my program name

Take down the Offset value given in the message

Then go to the SDSF output of compile JCL

(Don’t forget to use XREF complier option at the time of compilation)

Program as per complier listing

Go to complier listing (i.e. the SDSF for compile JCL)

The offset is provided for each line with HEXLOC along with line number

(See the above slide)

Check with offset value is in which range

For example

The offset in our program is +000002E0

The line 14 (LINE # 000014) has the offset value of 0002D6 which indicates the starting value

As line 15 is a comment in my program it will not be displayed in the listing

The line 16 (LINE # 000016) has the offset value of 0002F0

The offset is in the range of starting offset of line 14 and line 16 offset clearly indicating line 14 has the error

The offset in our program is +000002E0 is less than the 0002F0 offset value of line 16 but Greater than 0002D6 line 14 offset value of so the error lies in line 14

The reason for the error is I used a UN initialized variable in arithmetic

Operation

A is not initialized,

And X is comp3; See the X is comp or comp3 as the error

may not come if X is Display.
