Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL V5+ users that request      *
  *                 CEEDUMP from Language Environment (LE) when  *
  *                 their COBOL program gets an ABEND.           *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Performance: The CEEDUMP produced is    *
  *                      too large compared to that produced     *
  *                      for a program compiled with a pre-V5    *
  *                      COBOL compiler.                         *
  *                                                              *

Problem conclusion

• The COBOL Runtime is changed to use a new routine provided by
  the CDA library to produce the CEEDUMP output, which results in
  a smaller CEEDUMP.
