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.

    * 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.
