Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• COBOL V5.1 compiler issues error message while using OPT(1) or
  OPT(2)
  IGYCB7145-U   Insufficient memory in the compiler to continue
  compilation.
  

Local fix

• Do not use optimization.

  ****************************************************************
  When optimization is enabled, the compiler tries to amalgamate
  constant value stores to sequential elements into a smaller
  set of store operations. When there is a large WORKING-STORAGE
  section this optimization requires more memory to complete and
  in certain cases exhausts the memory available to the
  compiler.
  

Problem conclusion

• The optimizations memory footprint was reduced by leveraging
  memory pooling more effectively.
