No, the question is to what lengths a program should go in an attempt
to work around a broken subroutine; the issue would

My recollection [perhaps faulty after all these years] is that when the
SC03 Abend was first introduced that there was auto-close capability at
the job step task termination level that was independent the programming
language. The IEC999I message that indicates that a DEB could not be
properly
The origional statement was that a different program calling the
subroutine didn't have the abend. If the different program was also
ASM and didn't clean up modules loaded or was linked as a static call,
then the storage would still be available for the system to close the
ACB. sort of an example

Since you indicated the files were opened (and not closed)
by a BAL subroutine, the COBOL code may not even be aware of it.

Clark,
the question is to which lengths COBOL goes to determine which files
were opened. Since you indicated the files were opened (and not closed)
by a BAL subroutine, the COBOL code may not even be aware of it. It does
take a bit of poking around to find the DECBs anyhow.
However, since yo
