APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Under COB V5.1, when compiling a large program (375,000 in the test case) using either the LIST or OFFSET compiler options, the compiler runs out of memory and terminates with the error: "IGYCB7145-U Insufficient memory in the compiler to continue compilation."
Local fix
Compile without the LIST or OFFSET compiler options.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL V5 users compiling large * * programs and using compiler options LIST or * * OFFSET. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compiler ABORT with the message * * "IGYCB7145-U Insufficient memory in * * the compiler to continue compilation." * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** The compiler was not keeping proper bookkeeping for tracking which listing lines were to be printed.
Problem conclusion
The compiler is corrected to keep proper track of listing lines which reduces the memory required for LIST and OFFSET compiles, allowing large COBOL programs to compile with those options.
