APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Improvements for NUMCHECK and SSRANGE Compile time CPU
  Performance
  

Local fix

• disable SSRANGE+NUMCHECK
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2 compiling     *
  *                 programs with compiler options NUMCHECK or   *
  *                 SSRANGE and experiencing excessive compile   *
  *                 time.                                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Programs take an excessive time to      *
  *                      compile.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  SSRANGE and NUMCHECK compile time checks can greatly increase
  the size of the code generated and hence the amount of
  compilation time required.
  

Problem conclusion

• Updated the compiler to represent SSRANGE and NUMCHECK checks
  in a more compact way, causing the compiler to do less work.
  

Temporary fix
