Aw crap, crap CRAP! Just ensure that the lame operator ('tape ape') does not
cancel your precious job(s). [1]
Why, oh why, did he/she/it canceled that job in the first place? Huh?
Did he/she/it smoked some 'Durban Poison' (dagga/marijuana)?
Stopping this cancelling fun will save you a lot of grey hairs and having you
to invent innovative abend handling steps.

There is no way to recover the data, unless you have a backup and the COBOL
program can be rerun without any extra steps.
Ouch, your scenario is a real PITA! Sorry for not giving you a real solution on
how to handle that S222 abend.
