Anyway, you can find the explanation of the abnormal end codes by looking at the ABEND-AID report. In that report you can see the contents of the working area of the program, as well as the contents of the files you’re reading/writting and the address of the program where the error occured.
By the way, a S0C7 code usually is received when you’re moving a non-numeric value to a numeric field or when you try to do a mathematic operation using a working field that was not initialized with “VALUE …” (in COBOL).
About S0C4, it’s very common to occur when there is an area invasion in the working-storage section. For example, you have a table with 50 occurs and move a value to this table with a value greater than 50. But S0C4 can be a lot of other errors. I use to call S0C4 as the “else” of the ABENDS
Hope I could help you, a have a nice day.
