S001-4 Abend

Input file record length is not equal to the length stated in the DD or the FD.

With disk, reading a dataset that was allocated but never written to.
Writing to input file
Concatenation of files with different record lengths or record formats.

S001-5 Abend

Reading after the end of the file by non-COBOL program.
COBOL intercepts this and displays "QSAM error, status 92".
Out of space on output disk file.

S002 Abend

With variable format files used for output.
The record is larger than the track size.
The record length is greater than allowed maximum 32,768.

A dummy file with no blocksize.

S013-14 Abend

A library has run out of space in its directory.
You have to backup, delete, and restore the library with IEBCOPY.
A dataset is sequential, but the JCL indicates that it is a library/PDS.

S013-18 Abend

A library member was specified in the JCL but was not found.

S013-20 Abend

The block size is not a multiple of record length.
Check record length in program, compare to actual record length of file

S013-34 Abend

The block size was found to be 0.
A new file is being created but block size was not in the JCL.

S013-40 Abend

Reading a file whose JCL has SYSOUT=

S106 Abend

The program on the program library was unreadable. Recompile and link.

S122 Abend

The job was canceled because it violated some restriction.
A dump was requested

S137 Abend

A tape has a bad trailer label.
Copy the file with IEBGENER, ignoring the error. The copy will be good.
Using LABEL=2 when there's only one dataset on the tape.

S213 Abend

A disk dataset was not actually on the volume stated in the VOL=SER=.
A disk dataset was not actually on the volume indicated in the catalog.

S222 Abend

The job was cancelled because it violated some restriction.
No dump was requested.

S237 Abend

The block count on a tape trailer label is wrong.
Probably caused by hardware error.
Copy the file with IEBGENER, ignoring the error. The copy will be good.
A problem with the second volume of tape or disk.

S313, 314 Abend

An Input/output error in the VTOC of a disk volume. Inform support staff.

S322 Abend

The job used more CPU time than it should have.
Either the estimate is wrong or the program is in an uncontrollable loop.

S413 Abend

A volume was needed that could not be mounted.

S422 Abend

Too many job steps.

S513 Abend

Two jobs or DDNAMES wanting same tape at same time.

S522 Abend

Job was waiting too long.

S613 Abend

A bad tape label.

S637 Abend

A bad concatenation, different types of devices were used.
An unreadable tape mark or label.

S706 Abend

The program on the library was not executable.
See linkage editor report that put the program on library.

S713 Abend

The tape was unexpired and the operator terminated the job.

S714 Abend

Labels on the tape were bad.

S722 Abend

Too many lines of print.

S804 Abend

Region too small for the program.

S806 Abend

Right dataset name, wrong tape volume.

S913 Abend

Security violation.

SA13 Abend

SB14 Abend

No space in a library directory for this member's name.

SB37 Abend

Insufficient disk space.

SD37 Abend

Insufficient disk space.

SE37 Abend

Insufficient disk space.
An E37 on tape datasets is most often caused when the number of requested volumes is exceeded. The default is 5,
therefore a request for the sixth volume will fail with a E37.
