Common Data Space? This is kind of what data spaces were invented for. An init routine to run more or less @ IPL time to create, anchor and load the data space. Cobol to access/update the data via the dataspace Optional routine to save the dataspace @ shutdown.
HTH, -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of scott Ford Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2019 1:23 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: LE question All: I need to do some research on how job is cancelled via the Operator , Abend S222. I read through some of the Boston share doc of some time ago by Ed, Sam and Skip. Its great. I have a question in regard to something that was stated on the presentation. I have a job written in Cobol, this job has mission critical data storage in a table or array in program storage and that job has been cancelled by an Operator. I dont want to lose that data. I want to know how i should approach it. The other qualifier here is that this is Cobol v4.2 which i am stuck with. Would I have to write a non-LE assembler caller and somehow set and ESPIE or ESTAE and then somehow involve CALLRTM ? I have done a lot of digging and not sure recovery of this nature ( LE ) is mentioned. I understand Condition Handling can be called also but will it handle an Operator cancel ...I know there are products, thats not an option because of cost.
