Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / guest
S0C1-May be due to 1.Missing or misspelled DD name
2.Read/Write to unopened dataset 3.Read to dataset opened
output 4.Write to dataset opened input 5.Called subprogram
not found
S0C4-may be due to 1.Missing Select statement(during
compile) 2.Bad Subscript/index 3.Protection Exception
4.Missing parameters on called subprogram 5.Read/Write to
unopened file 6.Move data from/to unopened file
S0C5-May be due to 1.Bad Subscript/index 2.Closing an
unopened dataset 3.Bad exit from a perform 4.Access to I/O
area(FD) before read
S0C7-may be due to 1.Numeric operation on non-numeric data
2.Un-initialize working-storage 3.Coding past the
maximum allowed sub script
S0CB-may be due to 1.Division by Zero

Answer / aap
I completely agree with Answer 1.
Just to add to B37 abend (while agreeing to it) -
we get abends like SB37, SD37 etc.
Actually S is for system, 37 denotes the space abend.
But the 2nd alphabet B is for blocks, D is for DASD
etc...the unit of colume for which the space parameter has
been defined..This helps to resolve a lot of confusions :-)

SOC 1 - JCL DD name missing.
SOC 4 / SOC 5 - Subscript error
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 16 Yes | 4 No |
Answer / sujitha
THE ANSWER 1 IS EXACTLY CORRECT
SOC1-DD NAME MIS SPELT
READ THE FILE IN OUTPUT MODE
WRITE THE FILE IN INPUT MODE
SOC4-BAD SUBSCRIPT OR INDEX
OPENING THE ALREADY OPENED FILE
SOC7-WHEN WE TRY TO PERFORM THE NUMERIC OPERATION ON NON
NUMERIC DATA
AND THE SPACE ABENDS THAT WE GET ARE SB37,SE37 AND SD37
SB37-END OF THE VOLUME
SE37-IN THE SPACE PARAMETER IF WE DONT SPECIFY THE NO OF
DIRECTORY BLOCKS
SD37-IN THE SPACE PARAMETER IF WE DONT SPECIFY THE
SECONDARY QUANTITY

or bad parms..etc
soc7 :- decimal exception-
dicimal data is incorrect or improperly overlapped or
not validly initialized...etc
socb :- decimal devide exception..
