Keep hearing "the job abended." Is that the mainframe word for crashed? How is S0C7 different from a JCL error?

Abend = abnormal end. Program blew up while running (S0C7, S0C4, etc).
JCL error usually means the job never ran the program right - bad syntax, dataset not found at allocation time, etc. Different fix path.
S0C7 = bad numeric data. You will meet it soon. Do not panic, just find the field.
