ESPIE only catches program checks, it doesn't catch ABENDs. A COBOL program can get an ABEND not related to a program check.

That was my specific question. Will, or can I get the CEEDUMP? Dave, Generally if you have an error in COBOL , then Language environment SPIE takes over and generates the CEEDUMP. So if your shop has IBM-supplied default TRAP(ON,SPIE) , you would get CEEDUMP. > I still think I am better off setting ESTAE=NO as a default.

If you intend to go with turning of ESTAE , then make sure that you only do it for ICEAM2 environment so that only program invoked sorts have their ESTAE disabled. Please do not turn it off for ICEAM1 environment.
