Just curious to know why do you need to abend a job when you can bypass particular step(s) in a job based on the return-code(s) from previous steps.
Thanks,
Arun |

Hi,
Based on the return code of previous step, code a step to call a program that is not actually present in your library. It will cause S804 abend. I'm not sure that this is a standardized way of creating an abend. |

S.Selvakumar,
S804 would only occur if a module was invoked.
you should have said S806 |

| Many shops have an in house version of a program that calls the abend macro and displays a user code. Easy way to halt scheduled group of jobs. |

It is at the very top of every page for this web site. It is white letters on gray background. Click on 'IBM Manuals'
Or you can look here: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/r10pdf/ |

This also provides for generating a User abend (Unnnn) rather than forcing some phony system abend (Snnn). The result is the same (an abend), but User abends are far more managable. |

Hi,
All the suggestions so far talk about a CALLable abend-routine, I was also using the same concept but now I got little curious - do we have any such utility/CALLable routine which can be executed right away in JCL instead of CALLing via a program written in some programming language. |
