  • When compiling a program with large number of repetitive

    optimization to reach a stopping point.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.3 compiling      *
    *                 programs at OPT(1|2) where a few paragraphs  *
    *                 are PERFORMed a high number of times         *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Program takes an excessive time to      *
    *                      compile                                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF                       *
    ****************************************************************
    When compiling a program where some paragraphs are PERFORMed a
    high number of times, some analysis done by the optimizer may
    take a long time to complete.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was fixed to avoid doing that analysis when a
    program has a few paragraphs that are PERFORMed a high number
    of times.
    

Temporary fix
