not without the output messages and your JCL for the relevant step

//STEP16 EXEC QUIKJOB
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=ANNPN.PZSRBMQA.SRBEXT.SORT12.R080331,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=ANN2021.PZSRBMQA.SRBEXCEL.R080606,DISP=(,CATLG),
// DCB=(LRECL=132,BLKSIZE=27852,RECFM=FB),
// SPACE=(CYL,(35,25),RLSE),UNIT=SYSDA
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DSN=ANNPN.PARIS.QUIKJOB(PZSRBM16),DISP=SHR

this s the jcl for which abend u3336 is thrown.

Does not help much as you are EXECing a procedure. A procedure can have multiple steps. We need the JCL for the actual step that failed. And the messages from that step - not just a return code.

We would also need to see the SYSIN to see what you are asking the step to do.

Has this job worked previously and has suddenly failed? Or is it a first time run? In which case you probably have not set it up correctly.

STEP16 is the step which got abended.

its not a first time run. prev it was fine but now it creates an abend.

the abend msgs -
+AB400A ===== ABEND-AID ===== 744
REPORT WRITTEN TO: ISV.AAMVS.AFDEVI.REPORT.SHRDIR
REPORT NUMBER: 138112
JOB-ANN2021E STEP-QUIK
ABEND CODE=U3336
ACCESS YOUR ABEND-AID REPORTS BY EXECUTING SYSTEM
COMMAND "AAHOTKEY" FROM ANYWHERE IN ISPF.

sysin contains datas which are formatted thru this quik job and written into an o/p

Actually, I thonk you will find that SYSIN contains your QUICKJOB program, SYSUT1 contains your input data and SYSUT2 would be your output data. Has your QUIKJOB program changed? If not then the only variable left is the input data which suggests that either some new format of data has arrived, or the data is corrupt or an existing datatype has arrived for the first time and the QUIKJOB program does not handle it correctly. Assuming it is the first or the last option then a program change will need to be made. We still need more diagnostics. What does the ABEND-AID report say? Can you determine whic record was causing the program to fail? What IS your program at the abending place?
