PI50068: DECREASING THE SIZE OF COBOL MODULE GENERATED USING DB2 PRECOMPILER.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This fix will provide additional changes in addition to the
  ones delivered under APAR PI44975. These changes in the COBOL
  compiler would allow to generate the smaller size of binary
  module generated while using DB2 precompiler.
  

Local fix

• Use DB2 coprocessor instead of DB2 precompiler step.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL v5.1 users who are          *
  *                 compiling DB2 programs that have a large     *
  *                 number of SQL statements that were           *
  *                 translated by the DB2 precompiler and use    *
  *                 the NOSQL compiler option.                   *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Performance: A significant increase in  *
  *                      the size of the object module deck was  *
  *                      observed when using the DB2 precompiler *
  *                      instead of compiling the program with   *

  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When the DB2 precompiler is used the size of the WORKING-STORAGE
  section increases. This 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.
