PH17872: Compiler ends RC=16 without a diagnostic to suggest what needs correcting

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The compiler's optimizer and code generator is a rather large
  module, with above the bar storage requirements, so there are
  several sticking points to getting it up and running. Upon
  failure of this bootstrap process, no message is being written
  to increase REGION and/or MEMLIMIT.
  

Local fix

• Increase REGION and MEMLIMIT.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the Enterprise COBOL V6.1       *
  *                 compiler who try to run the compiler in      *
  *                 memory constrained environments.             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect output: The compiler listing  *
  *                      may show the compiler ending with       *
  *                      RC=16, without any accompanying error   *
  *                      messages.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  There are at least two memory constraint conditions which can
  cause the compiler to fail to complete with RC=16 and no
  explanatory error messages. Increase the REGION size and/or the
  MEMLIMIT specifications to make sufficient storage available.
  

Problem conclusion

• One of the conditions that causes this failure is the compiler
  is unable to initialize the LE environment.  Existing compiler
  messages IGYIN5294-U for V6.1 and IGYAS5294-U for V6.2 have
  been updated and will be issued in this case.  In the other
  case, the back end of the compiler fails to load due to
  insufficient storage but clear messages identifying the problem
  are already available in the JESYSMSG output for the job:
  IEW4000I FETCH FOR MODULE IGYQCBE  FROM DDNAME STEPLIB  FAILED
  BECAUSE INSUFFICIENT STORAGE WAS AVAILABLE.
  CSV031I LIBRARY ACCESS FAILED FOR MODULE IGYQCBE , RETURN CODE
  14, REASON CODE 26110021, DDNAME STEPLIB
  IEF237I JES2 ALLOCATED TO CEEDUMP
