Agreed. In my first job, I had one programmer who got an S0C7 abend. I
told him it was a data problem, look in his program to determine which
variable was bad. His response: "System abend - system problem - you
fix
it."
Write an ESPIE to change it to a U0C7 and "toss" it back. :-)

Or grind his nose into the SYSTEM CODES manual until he learns to READ IT!
I used to keep Systems Messages and System Codes in a single LARGE
three-ring binder. The first time someone asked about a system message
or code, we'd look it up together; the second time, I just handed it to
him. The third time, I dropped it on his feet and the fourth time, I
threw it at him. People around me learned fast, most of them anyway. And
I always made sure that current copies were available to averyone, at
all times. Sometimes, cruelty has a positive effect. Sometimes.
