Closed as program error.
Error description
Some of the user source can take longer to compile than the code compiled with earlier versions of the Enterprise COBOL for z/OS compilers.
Local fix
Lower optimization level.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5.1 compiling * * large programs that have many data items * * with the OCCURS DEPENDING ON clause and * * using compiler options OPT(1) or OPT(2). * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compile-time performance problem. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** During in-lining of procedures the compiler was taking time to re-evaluate information needed to display source listing lines for unreachable code.
Problem conclusion
The compiler optimizer was changed to avoid re-evaluating source listing information when in-lining. Reasonable in-lining limits were also applied to avoid explosive growth of object size.
