Doo,

S(0C7)'s are BAD !!! Instead of trying to catch them, prevent them either by demanding correct input or testing for numeric content before processing.

Good luck,
Ronald.

Hi,

before you do a compute, you test first if it is numeric.

If you write assembler, you can use a STAE macro.

If you write PL/1, you can define ON units to trap any problem.

In COBOL the numeric test is the normal approach.

there is a way, using the language environment. I made my own error handler in COBOL. It works excellent and it survives all abends. Fun. Look it up in the manuals how to do this.

I have been off the IBM mainframe for a couple decades but we used to read what was called a "dump" and a S0C7 was rudimentary. Has that gone by the wayside? Maybe that was just for mainframes.
