We were able to find the 2 records causing the S0C7 abends in the 
COBOL/Syncsort application.  Thanks for the help.

Yes. By default as supplied by IBM. With TRAP(OFF) you get nasty side-effects 
according to LE diagnostic guide.

Check the run-time options with RPTOPTS.

Ask your programmers to put in display or trace statements so you can see 
exactly where in the program and where in the data is the program now just 
before abend.

Or use LE DEBUG run-time options.
