RE: error# MCH1210

Actually, isn't 'G' just telling the program to just start running from the
"*GETIN" step of the cycle.  I always thought this was a dangerous choice.
It leaves a transaction only partially completed....

Generally, in Sys/36 Land, G means "Go." It ignores the error and the job
completes normally (if bad data can be considered normal). It is entirely
possible that the error is understood and can be ignored without
consequences.

> why he is advising to take first 'D' and then after 'G'....
 
The 'D' produces a spooled file which contains all the program variables,
file and indicator states for the program. This is called a formatted
program dump. Having the dump available will help the programmer determine
what variables were too small, because he can examine each variable in the
failing expression by looking at the spooled file. The 'G' option depends
entirely on what the programs involved are doing. There is no way to guess
why he advises a 'G' - perhpas the best answer is to ask the IT person?
