SOFT

Privilege Class: B
Use SET ABEND to force soft errors to cause full system termination, or full system
snapdumps.
HARD
specifies that any soft abend causes full system termination without attempting
system recovery.
HARD aaannn
specifies the soft abend with abend code aaannn, where aaa is the three
character module identifer and nnn is the three character abend code number,
causes full system termination, but other soft abends continue to be processed
normally.
SNAPDUMP
specifies that any soft abend causes a full system snapdump.
SNAPDUMP aaannn
specifies the soft abend with abend code aaannn causes a full system
snapdump, but other soft abends continue to be processed normally.
SET ABEND
SOFT
cancels all previous specifications of HARD, HARD aaannn, SNAPDUMP and
SNAPDUMP aaannn. All soft abends operate normally as established during
system initialization.
1. If any not valid abend code is encountered in the SET ABEND HARD aaannn
aaannn... command or the SET ABEND SNAPDUMP aaannn aaannn...
command, no soft abend settings are changed.
2. You can specify up to ten unique soft abend codes with one or more invocations
of the SET ABEND command. The codes are inspected for format validity—that
is, three letters followed by three numbers. The nnn portion of the code is
required to be less than or equal to decimal 255. The code is not inspected to
determine whether it corresponds to a soft abend that is actually present in the
system.
