APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Customer was running an app using a CMP bean that has an SQL
exception.  The application developer never saw the sql code.
Not until trace was turned on was this information available
to the customer.

customer wishes that a message be issued in the joblog
containing the sql failure data.

Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
*                 version 4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390            *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Unexpected application level exceptions *
*                      are only exposed when WebSphere tracing *
*                      is enabled.                             *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
In order to detect and debug specific unexpected application
level exceptions, WebSphere tracing must be enabled.  In some
cases it may required that WebSphere tracing not be enabled.
In this case, it is quite difficult to debug application level
exceptions.
Problem conclusion
The environment variable AUDIT_UNCHECKED_EX,
when set to true, Message BBOJ0076W will be issued
whenever an unexpected application level exception occurs.

The following documentation changes will be made to
support these changes:

1. The following description of message BBOJ0076W will be
added to "WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and
OS/390: Messages and Diagnosis",GA22-7837-07:

BBOJ0076W: Unchecked application exception occured: {0}
Explanation:  An EJB method failed with the reported unchecked
exception.
User Response: Refer to the exception data to debug the
application failure.

2. The Environment Variables table contained in Appendix A of
"WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390:
Installation and Customization",GA22-7834-07, and
"WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390:
Assembling J2EE Applications",SA22-7836-06, to include the new
AUDIT_UNCHECKED_EX environment variable, along with an
indication that it applies to a J2EE server instance.

These appendices will also be updated to include the following
description of this environment variable:

    AUDIT_UNCHECKED_EX=true or false

    Specifies that message BBOJ0076W is to be issued
    whenever an unexpected application level exception occurs.

    The default is false.
