Solving a S0C4 Abend

STEP1.
First Check the SYSOUT of CA-VIEW whether any thing
regarding the bad record is displaying.
(Most cases it will display the Record Key value in the Sysout.
If this information is not found we can proceed as per STEP2)
If the key value is displaying, go to the particular file and check
this particular record.
Check all the values of that particular records whether all the
values are as per variables defined in file structure.
Take a backup of the Original file.
Strip of the record from the file and resubmit the JCL as per the
modification log.

STEP2.
Look at the DUMP and trace out the statement displacement where
Abend is occurring.(ADDRESS=00110C08 OFFSET=00000BE6)
Recompile the Program and check the displacement in the
program, there we can find out the exact location of the problem.
Search for these values in the compile Listings, There we can find
the position where the abend has occurred.
Check the values there for the file variables from the program logic
where it is abending and trace out the record from the file using
E.F.1.
Strip off the records from the file using E.F.2 . by selecting these
particular records by giving
Selection criteria usage ===> T
Press <ENTER>

Now select 1 and give the key value in

Starting record key
===> key value
Strip off the record from the file.

STEP3.
Recompile the program again with display statements for the
record count after reading the file.
Display Count = working-storage Counter.
Resubmit the JCL in test region and check the number of records
read.
Locate that particular record using File-Aid.
Check this particular record, check the variables whether it is as
per the variables defined in the file-structure.
Take a backup of the file containing bad record(s).
Strip off the records that are creating the problem.
(If all the records with record type 2 are bad records then Strip off
all the TYPE 2 records and the corresponding TYPE 1 record
also.
If only one Type 2 is bad record then Strip that particular record
with Type 2.)
Resubmit the job as per the modification log.
Note: Before stripping you have to take a backup of the
particular file.
