What could be the reason for S722 abend?

Can someone help me?

[enrico-sorichetti]

googlin with ibm abend s722
will return the links to the manuals with the expanation

hint ...
The S722 ABEND is specific to the SYSOUT limit.
Receiving the ABEND722 indicates the SYSOUT limit was exceeded

speak to your support
a large number of lines might be acceptable

Have you considered checking the IBM manuals for an explanation of the S722 abend, as it seems to be specific to the SYSOUT limit, and reaching out to your support for assistance, especially if the SYSOUT limit was exceeded due to a large number of lines?

In office we are not allowed to open external links. I search this site on phone and did not think of finding manuals there. Will check, do we have manuals on this site?

changing the sysout limits might affect in a bad way  tha availability of spool space

S722 abend (Abend Subcode 0722) in IBM z/OS environments signifies that an output limit has been exceeded. This means that a job or process produced more data than allowed by the configured limits.Common Causes:

• Exceeded OUTLIM keyword on SYSOUT DD statement: This specifies the maximum output for a specific dataset. Review and adjust if necessary.

Whether an application programmer can directly set a value for OUTLIM depends on the specific environment and configuration:JES2:

• In JES2, the OUTLIM keyword on the SYSOUT DD statement defines the maximum output allowed for a specific dataset. Application programmers typically don't have direct access to modify this keyword. Changing it might require adjustments in JCL or system-level configurations managed by administrators or operations personnel.

JES3:

• JES3 allows more flexibility. While the OUTLIM keyword might still be controlled by system configurations, some installations might grant limited access to application programmers through JCL parameters or specific APIs. However, this depends on the individual system's security and authorization settings.

Other factors:

• Even if programmers have some control over output limits, exceeding those limits could still trigger abnormal abends if they create excessive output due to errors or miscalculations.
• Security considerations and the potential for misuse often restrict direct programmer access to output limit settings.

Best, talk to your support group as enrico has said.

This might help for some topics: manuals

IBM's documentation can be accessed in an offline format in a couple of ways, but you will need to download stuff to gain access. Once that's done, you can take it where you need to go.

If you're familiar with IBM's online documentation offerings, then there's an offline tool that does the same thing. You'll need to download both the tool and the documentation set that you need from the online site. Details are here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/offline .

IBM also provides most documentation as PDF files which can be downloaded en-masse in zip files. There are generally links on the online documentation pages that allow you to do this, but they are available in other locations as well. For example, the z/OS documentation can be downloaded here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos . Selecting a version gives a page on which one of the options is "PDF files for the z/OS v.r library".
