Re: Abend codes

 

I managed to find this source which explains the various 0Cx abends in greater detail:?

S0C7 ¨C Data Exception
Description
Data was incorrect format for the instruction that attempting to process it. The ABEND can occur when packed decimal instruction are used.
?
Possible Causes
?
Un-initialized index or subscript
Fields in decimal arithmatic overlap incorrectly
Index /Subscript value incorrect and invalid data was referenced
The decimal multiplicand has too many high-order significant digits
Data fields was not initialized, blanks were read into a field designed to be processed with packed decimal instruction.
How to Fix
Correct the format of the data/initialize the data item that is being computed.

Regards,

Steen

Where can I find a list of abend codes and what they mean? (I'm not an MVS person!)

I am seeing in a MVT log someone sent me a "0C7" abend code. What does that mean?

I seem to recall that the last digit ('7' in this case) is the Program Interruption code? Yes?

Thus:

0C1 is an Operation Exception (Yes?)
0C4 is a Protection Exception (Yes?)
0C7 is a Data Exception (Yes?)

Does anyone have a web page or a document somewhere that lists these abend codes?

Or am I correct in that only the last digit is important, being the Program-Interruption code.

What if the Program-Interruption code is greater than hex 10? Such as a Special-operation Exception? (code X'0013') or an Operand Exception? (code X'0015') What would the abend code look like for those?

Help!? :(

There must be at least a few people who feel the same way. I just noticed a
coworker at my current employer has the phrase his phone adds set to:

Blundered out from my iPhone

Now that I have access to work e-mail on my phone, I think I'll try to find
that setting in my phone and set it to the same in case I ever have to
resort to sending an e-mail from my phone.

I guess I'm actually the crazy one because I don't even own a mobile phone.

Nor a laptop.

Nor "do" social media.

Nor play games on my computer.

Unfortunately, the email signature in the message body itself is just
one indication of the device you're using; changing it doesn't change
the others.

For example, in that message you sent, the MIME part boundary was
"--_com.samsung.android.email_11545092392523990". So I'm going to
venture a guess that if I were a bad actor who wanted to send you
targeted malware to exploit a known flaw in your device... I'd pull out
something for a Samsung device running Android.

But I'd never do that to you :-)

Re: OT: "Sent from whatever device I am using."

 

Fish,

It's a default setting. It does not show in the compose window. So the
device owner is not aware of it until someone complains.
They then have to decide if its easier to ignore the complainant or figure
out how to turn it off.
Probably the first is easier. On my Android the second is a pain. To get to
the settings I have to scroll past all my folders (there are a few) to get
to the setting cog and then find the setting....
So the basic answer is "ignorance" and/or "laziness" - you choose.

You're not crazy. A phone is a sub-optimal device for e-mail at best. The
above sounds like a perfectly reasonable plea. I don't use my phone for
personal e-mail, or for texting if I can avoid it. I prefer a full grown
keyboard with keys I can feel. With my current e-mail setup, I can't even
access my personal e-mail from my phone. Sadly, my employer recently
insisted that I get my phone set up so that I can at least check my work
e-mail from my phone when I'm on call. Uggghhh.

Why do people(?)/devices(?) do that?
There are two reasons in my mind:

1) Free advertising for device manufacturers. When you buy a new iPhone
or Samsung device, they set the signature to "Sent from my iPhone" or
"Sent from my Samsung Galaxy" or something along those lines by default.
They figure (correctly) that a large percentage of people won't bother
going through the settings pages, finding the spot a couple layers deep
where you can change or remove that. So... the device makers get free
advertising.

2) I change mine on my phone to "Sent from a mobile device." No free
advertising for a company I paid hundreds of dollars to, but still
communicates context to the recipient. I don't often send emails from my
phone, but when I do, they don't reflect my usual attention to detail or
thoroughness. Typing long-form content on phones isn't ideal, and they
tend to change your words ("auto-correct") without you noticing, and I'm
less likely to fully explain my thoughts because I just can't be
bothered to try to type very much on a tiny on-screen keyboard. Whether
it actually has an effect on recipients or not, I see the "Sent from a
mobile device" signature as a subtle plea that really reads "please
don't judge me too harshly for any typos in this message, and if I sound
rude or terse please understand it's probably because typing on phones
is horrible so I'm trying to make it quick."

Maybe I'm just crazy but that's my thought process :-)
