Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Compile time may increase tremendously due to excessive memory
  allocation above-the-line at all OPT levels.  This large
  allocation can be seen in the IEF032I step statistic message
  in the ATB- REAL and VIRT- ALLOC fields.
  
  ATB- REAL:  2789768K  SLOTS:               1141196K
  VIRT- ALLOC:    3863M SHRD:       0M
