  with a parameter of more than 2000 characters throws the
  following error output:
  IGYPG3192-E   A reference-modification length value caused
  reference to be made beyond the rightmost character of
  "EZELNK-MEMWORK0". A reference extending to the end of
  "EZELNK-MEMWORK0" was assumed.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * It is possible to get a compiler error from cobol            *
  * complaining about the size of EZELNK-MEMORK type variables,  *
  * if the SQL prepare size is greater than the default area.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The symbolic parameter WORKFIELDLENGTh should be used, as    *
  * documented, to increase the size of the SQL prepare area,    *
  * however, it is possible that a compiler error can still      *
  * happen. The symparm was not adjusting the size of            *
  * EZELNK-MEMWORK type variables, when it should have been.     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The symparm now adjusts the minimum size of these EZELNK-MEMWORK
  type variables, which will fix the compiler error.
