JCL UTILITIES and ABEND CODES Interview Questions.
Some common utilities used in JCL.
1. IEBGENER- Copy one sequential file to another
- Create datasets with input dataset as DUMMY
- Copy the partitioned datasets
- Compress the partitioned datasets
- Include members of PDS within a copy transaction
- Exclude members of PDS with in a copy transaction
- Catalog datasets
- Un-catalog datasets
- Rename the datasets
- Create the index for a generation data groups
- Delete the Index for a generation data groups
- Compare two partitioned datasets
- Compare two sequential datasets
- Create a empty dataset
- Create generation data groups
JCL ABEND CODES
- 1 S0C4 Caused by the subscript being out of range
- 2 S0C5 Caused by invalid address specification. i.e. The address points to an instruction, control word or data outside the available real storage
- 3 S0C7 Caused by a bad data. i.e. Data exception. When we are moving an alphanumeric field to a numeric computational field this Abend occurs. The result is an Abend failure
- 4 S222 Caused by a job being cancelled by the operator, due to a request by the program for an unavailable resource.
- 5 S237 Caused by end of volume being encountered.
- 6 S322 Caused when CPU time assigned to the job, job step, or procedure has been exceeded. i.e. Time out error.
- 7 S413 This abend occurs if the DD statement referenced by UNIT=AFF statement is not closed before the DD statement that comes before it.
- 8 S522 Caused when a wait state exceeds an installation-defined time limit.
- 9 SB37 Caused by lack of sufficient Secondary space
- 10 SD37 Caused by lack of sufficient Primary space
- 11 SE37 Caused by lack of space for PDS (Partitioned data set)
