Error description

  • COBOL module size increase while using DB2 precompiler.

Local fix

  • Use DB2 coprocessor instead of DB2 precompiler step.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL v5.1 users who are          *
*                 compiling with the NOSQL option.             *
*                                                              *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A significant increase in the size of   *
*                      the object module deck was observed     *
*                      when compiling with the NOSQL option.   *
*                                                              *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
*                                                              *
****************************************************************
When the NOSQL option is used the size of the WORKING-STORAGE
increases which in turn increases the size of the
WORKING-STORAGE initialization routine. This in turn leads to
the overall increase in the object code size.

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was modified to reduce the number of instructions
generated for WORKING-STORAGE initialization.
