Error description
Compiler runs out of memory while processing COPY...REPLACING statement.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.5 invoking the * * compiler from non-JCL environments to * * compile programs containing COPY REPLACING * * statements. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compiler abort with message: * * * * IGYLI5294-U There was insufficient * * storage for compiler processing. The * * region size or "MEMLIMIT" value should * * be increased. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The library phase of the compiler that processes COPY REPLACING statements was mishandling memory management under certain conditions. The conditions were significantly less likely to occur when invoking the compiler from JCL.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to correct memory management problems in the library phase relating to COPY REPLACING statement processing.
