KiranK,
Capture the spool information to a dataset & your are free to process it, Anyways, why would you like to process abend info thru a cobol program ?

refer to how to move the job sysout into the dataset(fb,sequential,)

Kirank,

I dont know what you really mean by abend but abend information is generally written to datasets with DDNAME ABENDAID (if you have abendaid installed in your shop), CEEDUMP etc.

Instead of redirecting abend information to the spool you could provide qualified datasets and capture abend information there.

Cheers
