I would appreciate suggestion on how to handle unespected errors (for
example database return codes) in cobol/ims. Intentional abend?
Logging error? Rollback? Display? Format with error description?
Thanks

These are all possibilities... don't forget the standard:

My suggestions are:

A) (most important) check with the user or user group to see what THEY want

B) see what (if anything) is your "shop standard" (and who gets called with what
information at 2 a.m. when this happens)
