Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5.2 compiling     *
  *                 programs at OPT(1|2) with large amount of    *
  *                 variably-located data-items.                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Excessive compilation time.             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  Variably-located data-items create a lot of overhead in address
  computation. Optimizations take a larger amount of time to
  process with excessive use of variably located data-items.
  

Problem conclusion

• Compiler was updated to improve some optimizations to work
  faster with lots of variably located data-item code.
  

Temporary fix
