PI76061: COMPILER ISSUES ABEND OR INSUFFICIENT MEMORY ERROR WHILE USING INITCHECK OPTION TOGETHER WITH OPT(1) OR OPT(2)

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Compiling with INITCHECK option and OPT(1) or OPT(2) may cause
  Abend or Insufficient memory error.
  

Local fix

• Do not use INITCHECK or use OPT(0).
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.1 compiling      *
  *                 programs with the INITCHECK compiler option. *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compile-time performance: The compiler  *
  *                      consumes an excessive amount of memory. *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The implementation of INITCHECK did not free its allocated
  memory until it was complete.
  

Problem conclusion

• The implementation of INITCHECK was modified to free allocated
  memory when it was no longer required, allowing it to be reused
  and reducing overall memory consumption.
  

Temporary fix
