Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The compiler appears to go into a loop, but is in fact just
  spending a long time optimizing.
  

Local fix

• Compile at OPT(0)

  *                 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
