Copy/change the source, and compile the object module into a temporary STEPLIB. Run the job specifying the STEPLIB and all is still good with the world.
Every account I have worked at had a temporary STEPLIB set for every JOBSTEP running in production. This makes life so much easier. It works wonders for emergency fixes to a production CICS system too. Just remember, don't let the STEPLIB go into secondary extents. You will spend countless hours, if not days, shooting this bug without doing it the straight forward easy way. The inability to change source programs and re-compiling is just one of the reasons customers are leaving the mainframe environment for PC solutions. Central planning has never worked anywhere it has been tried. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of McKown, John Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 2:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: COBOL abend debug question with AbendAid/CICS dump > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Skomsky, PSTI > Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 2:30 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: COBOL abend debug question with AbendAid/CICS dump > > Just change the source to place some literal into working-storage > prior to performing paragraph DO-READ. Can't change source in production without a lot of political pull that I don't have. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
