Error description
In COBOL program that uses an EVALUATE statement, a large temp storage field is not being reused. This results in several large temp storage fields being allocated, generating a storage constraint.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 5.2 compiling and * * running programs that have an EVALUATE * * statement with one or more WHEN phrases * * that contain many uses of the DISPLAY-OF * * intrinsic function specifying a large * * argument. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Excessive stack space is used by the * * program at runtime compared to the * * same program compiled with a pre-V5 * * version of the compiler. This can * * sometimes result in an abend, * * especially if the STACK(...,BELOW,...) * * LE runtime option is in effect. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The compiler was failing to reuse temporary storage areas used during EVALUATE statement processing, even when it was possible to do so.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to improve the reuse of temporary storage areas used during EVALUATE statement processing.
