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.
