PI68288: CODE SIZE IS CONSIDERABLY LARGER WHEN COMPILING WITH DATA(24) OR WSOPT & OPT(2) COMPILER OPTIONS.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• COB V5/V6 code size is considerably larger when compiling
  programs with a large number of tables using compiler options
  DATA(24) or WSOPT and OPT(2).
  
  An optimization for table indexing was missing optimization
  opportunities when using WSOPT or DATA(24) compiler options due
  to different memory location of data items.
  

Local fix

• Compile without WSOPT or DATA(24) compiler options.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compiler output: Generated program      *
  *                      size is too large when compiling with   *
  *                      DATA(24) or WSOPT compiler options and  *

  ****************************************************************
  An optimization for table indexing was missed when using WSOPT
  or DATA(24) compiler options due to different memory location
  of data items.
  

Problem conclusion

• Compiler was updated to apply the same table indexing
  optimizations under WSOPT or DATA(24) compiler options.
