PH64348: PROGRAM TAKES AN EXCESSIVE TIME TO COMPILE.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When compiling a program with multiple literals that are powers
  of 2, the optimizer transforms the program in a way that
  produces a faster compiled program but slows down the compiler
  when it does further optimizations.
  

Local fix

• Compile at OPT(0) or ARCH(11) or substitute the literals with
  their product.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling      *
  *                 programs at OPT(1|2),ARCH(12) that have      *
  *                 multiply a data item by multiple literals,   *
  *                 where each literal is a power of 2.          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Program takes an excessive time to      *
  *                      compile.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF                       *
  ****************************************************************
  When compiling a program with multiple literals that are powers
  of 2, the optimizer transforms the program in a way that
  produces a faster compiled program but slows down the compiler
  when it does further optimizations.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was fixed to perform further optimizations more
  efficiently after it expands the multiplications.
  

Temporary fix
