core_on_error

Specifies in what circumstances a core file is produced.

Syntax:
>>-----set core_on_error=---.-0-.-----------><
                            +-1-+
                            +-2-+
Parameters:
0 The run-time system never produces a core file on any signal or run-time system error. This is the default behavior of the run-time system.
1 The run-time system produces a core file when any system signal is received that would normally produce a core file on the host system; for example, SIGILL, SIGSEGV (which would usually produce a run-time system error 114), and so on.
2 The run-time system produces a core file when any run-time system error occurs.
Properties:
Default: 0
IDE equivalent: None
Comments:

You can animate core files to determine the cause of the problem if you have the appropriate dictionary (.idy) files. When a core file is produced, the run-time system itself cannot clean up COBOL file buffers or free system resources. This could lead to data file corruption that might not have occurred if no core file was produced.
