Error description
USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL Vx.x compiling programs at OPT(0) with an extremely large amount of data items with value clauses. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Excessive compilation time. WORKAROUND/CIRCUMVENTION: Compile with different OPT level. RECOMMENDATION TO CUSTOMER: Apply provided fix. PROBLEM SUMMARY: Register allocation was spending too much time selecting the optimal register in programs that contain very large amount of data items with value clauses. CONCLUSION: The compiler was updated to select an optimal register faster.

WORKAROUND/CIRCUMVENTION: Compile with different OPT level.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5.2 compiling * * programs at OPT(0) with an extremely large * * number of data items with VALUE clauses, or * * compiling programs at OPT(1|2) with a large * * number of filler items with VALUE clauses. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Excessive compilation time. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** Register allocation was spending too much time selecting the optimal register in programs that contain a very large number of data items with VALUE clauses. In addition, at OPT(1|2), the compiler was processing filler items with VALUE clauses in a non-optimal way.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to select an optimal register faster and to improve the processing of filler items with VALUE clauses at OPT(1|2).
