Error description

  • COBOL module size increase while using DB2 precompiler.

  • Use DB2 coprocessor instead of DB2 precompiler step.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL v5.2 users who are          *
*                 compiling with the NOSQL option.             *
*                                                              *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Performance, storage usage. A           *
*                      significant increase in the size of the *
*                      object module deck was observed when    *
*                      compiling with the NOSQL option.        *
*                                                              *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: Apply provided service.                      *
****************************************************************
When the NOSQL option is used the size of the WORKING-STORAGE
section increases which in turn increases the size of the
WORKING-STORAGE initialization routine. This leads to an overall
increase in the object code size.

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was modified to reduce the number of instructions
generated for WORKING-STORAGE initialization.
