Issue/Introduction

What can cause ABEND SA03 using VISION:Results Interface to IDMS?

Resolution

In very specific circumstances an SA03 ABEND is issued instead of an error message.

The three required components to the problem are

• The VISION:Results program does not include a IDMS DML FINISH statement,
• A third-party program is intercepting our DML CALLs to IDMS,
• A SORT is invoked.

The obvious solution is to correct the syntax and add the IDMS DML FINISH statement.

If for some reason this cannot be done, a possible workaround is to run the VISION:Results program under the LE environment.

To run VISION:Results under LE, the application can be modified by adding the LE parameter to the OPTION statement within the VISION:Results program.

To establish the LE environment at the site level, set the DYLINSTL parameter LE=Y and execute the CUSTMJCL job provided with the installation.
