Issue/Introduction

A CULPRIT job gets a S0C4 with the following messages:

F C700007 CULPRIT JOB CANCELLED AFTER CULE
(CONT) SYSTEM ABEND CODE= 0C4

Environment

Release: All supported releases.
Component: Culprit.

Cause

Missing LRECL on the DDNAME of a physical sequential output file.

Resolution

Make sure that the LRECL on the DDNAME of any physical sequential output files is correct. It should match the LRECL on the OUTPUT statement for the corresponding file in the culprit source.

For example, if the file is defined in the source like this:-

01OUT 100  D PS DD=OUTFILE

The JCL should be something like this:-

//OUTFILE DD SYSOUT=X,DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=100,BLKSIZE=27900)

Depending on the layout of the involved storage in the batch job, this error may have no impact, but it is also possible that the S0C4 after CULE may occur.
