Abend s322!!

Abend is a error that happens while we are running a job. There are so many abends which may come when we are running a job. This article discusses about the Abend code s322.

Abend s322 occurs when the job doesn't end within the given CPU time. CPU time is the time which we specify in the TIME attribute of a job card.

For example, if we give TIME =(5,0) i.e 5 minutes and 0 seconds. If the job doesn't end within 5 minutes, then Abend 322 will occur as a result of it.

Solution:

To avoid this Abend, always specify TIME=NOLIMIT in the job card. This will allow the job to take the maximum CPU time to complete a job.
