Application Debugging: An MVS Abend Handbook for Cobol, Assembly, Pli, and Fortran Programmers (Prentice-Hall Software Series)

Rating:
Summary: a Book every Programmer needs to have on their Desk
Review: Provides not only an explantion of the abend, the book also gives you a detailed background on the possible causes. Potential abend resolutions presented cover both COBOL and JCL specifically as well as general comments, dump analysis and what steps to take to correct the abending application. The book also presents background (limited detail) on printing Dumps, source code degugging and tips and techniques. Definitely a Book to have when tackling Production abends and problems where time is of the essence.
