Ok, I'll be the whipping boy. Why can't the Operating System be "Enhanced" to intercept the Abend and close the files. Close any input file and/or VSAM file. There is already alot of processing that occurs after the abend by building the dump thru Abend-Aid and other debuggers. We already have CICS with DTB feature that will backout changes and adds back to the last SYNCPOINT. DB2 can backout changes and adds back to the last COMMIT. So why can't Z/OS be changed to make sure that VSAM files are closed during Abend process ?? I'm probably wrong, but this "sounds" much easier to do, than what CICS and DB2 does.
