Error description
For programs containing many EXEC CICS HANDLE statements, the compiler appears to go into a loop though it does eventually terminate.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5.2 compiling * * programs containing a large number of 'EXEC * * CICS' and 'EXEC CICS HANDLE CONDITION' * * statements and using compiler option OPT(1) * * or OPT(2). * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compiler performance: Compiler takes a * * long time to finish compilation. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** An 'EXEC CICS HANDLE CONDITION' statement creates control flow between every 'EXEC CICS' statement. With many such statements the control flow becomes extremely complex and affects control flow analysis for optimization.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to do control flow analysis to find out which 'EXEC CICS' statements can be reached by each 'EXEC CICS HANDLE CONDITION' statement. This simplifies control flow when there are 'EXEC CICS' statements which cannot be reached by a 'EXEC CICS HANDLE CONDITION' statement.
