4.0 out of 5 stars a Book every Programmer needs to have on their Desk, November 6, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Application Debugging: An MVS Abend Handbook for Cobol, Assembly, PL/I, and Fortran Programmers (Prentice-Hall Software Series) (Hardcover)

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.

Sets the standard for the form that useful application debugging information should come in. From any vendor - within any platform. The content is sliced a # of different ways - and well, essentially - it's one of 2 or 3 books no mainframe programmer should be without
