S0C7
Invalid character in COMP/COMP-3 numeric field – check all
COMP/COM-3 numeric fields and arithmetic operations

Answer / rakesh kumar.govind

soc7 occurs when type conversion mismatch occurs i.e from
numeric to alphabet.

Answer / madhu

If you get S0C7 means some of your numeric variables/data
items have invalid data. now we need to find out how to do
this.

while compiling use compiler option LIST. it will give
listing of your cobol program in spool.

Now, run your program, it will abend will with S0C7
go to spool and take the last four bytes of offset.

open the compiler listing and find those 4 bytes in the
compiler listing.
you can find the position, where S0C7 occured.

In this way , we can find the position where S0C7 error got
generated.
