Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.1 compiling     *
  *                 programs with INITCHECK containing large     *
  *                 amount of REDEFINEd table data items         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Excessive compilation time              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF                       *
  ****************************************************************
  A large amount of REDEFINEs of a table data item could lead to
  INITCHECK performing excessive checks which would lead to long
  compile times.
  

Problem conclusion

• Compiler was updated to avoid some excessive INITCHECK checks of
  REDEFINEd table data items.
