A fix is available
APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
This fix will provide additional changes in addition to the ones delivered under APAR PI44975. These changes in the COBOL compiler would allow to generate the smaller size of binary module generated while using DB2 precompiler.
Local fix
Use DB2 coprocessor instead of DB2 precompiler step.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL v5.2 users who are * * compiling DB2 programs that have a large * * number of SQL statements that were * * translated by the DB2 precompiler and use * * the NOSQL compiler option. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Performance: A significant increase in * * the size of the object module deck was * * observed when using the DB2 precompiler * * instead of compiling the program with * * the SQL option (using the SQL * * coprocessor). * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply provided service. * **************************************************************** When the DB2 precompiler is used the size of the WORKING-STORAGE section increases. This in turn increases the size of the WORKING-STORAGE initialization routine. This leads to an overall increase in the object code size.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was modified to reduce the number of instructions generated for WORKING-STORAGE initialization.
