Hi Folks,
It is known that S0C7 is due to data exception. But which type of data type create this S0C7? Is it only by COMP-3 fields? Then what could be the error when a program tries to do some arithmetic operation of invalid values in simple numeric fields/COMP type of fields?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a million
Jimmy

Jimmy,

Possible causes for S0C7 abend include:

working storage not initialized
bad data, should check data for errors garbage in a field being tested or displayed 'move zeroes' to group level is display, had sublevels that were not
period missing after imperative statements within AT END clause
binary field in an arithmetic operation is not large enough to accept result

Kolusu,
That is fine. But I am sorry, my question is 'What kind of data type causing S0C7?. Would it be only COMP-3 data type or all numeric data type which contain invallid data cause S0C7?'

I hope my question is clear..Sorry for the confusion caused:(

Kolusu,
Yes I did. So can I conclude that S0C7 is not strictly bounded for COMP-3 fields only, right?

Hi Jimmy,

I have a test pgm that I take with me wherever I go ( except vacation Smile

). I use it whenever I have ques like the one you posed.

As an example, I'd insert the following:
