Error description
A change to the generation of long relative branches to correctly reflect code usage with code coverage tools was included in the October 2018 v6.1 PTF (September 2018 v6.2 PTF). This change may cause an infinite recursion in the code generator, resulting in the compiler ending with return code 16, but no specific compiler diagnostic. The joblog will show a U4088-807 due to stack memory exhaustion. The above the line storage high water mark (IEF032I EXT: value) will also be high.
