PI83899: Even after PI68523 there are programs with many EXEC CICS HANDLE statements that exhibit high compile CPU at optimization

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PI68523 made improvements to control flow analysis related to
  EXEC CICS HANDLE usage, but there are still cases where that
  improvement is insufficient.

  ****************************************************************
  Large amount of EXEC CICS HANDLE CONDITION statements
  complicates control flow, causing increased compilation time.
  

Problem conclusion

• Improved analysis of EXEC CICS HANDLE CONDITION statements to
  catch a specific case that was not being caught before,
  improving control flow.
