S0C7 = data exception. Usually math or packed decimal on data that is not valid numeric (spaces, low-values, wrong PIC).
Check the field you just ADD/COMPUTE/MOVEd into COMP-3. DISPLAY in hex if you can. IS NUMERIC before math helps while learning.

Also group MOVEs into COMP-3 areas. That one bites every trainee.
