ICE085A
SECOND COMMUNICATION AREA SPACE EXCEEDED - ADD AT LEAST nK BYTES TO REGION

Explanation

Critical. The complexity of the application caused dynamic areas and routines to exceed the total fixed amount of storage allowed for them in the second communication area. This situation normally occurs due to specification of one or more of the following (in approximate order of importance):
  • A large number of SORT, MERGE, INREC, or OUTREC fields
  • Use of an E61 user exit
  • Use of the VLSHRT option
  • Use of the NOSZERO option
  • Use of an ICETEXIT routine
  • A large number of SUM fields.
  • A large number of OUTFIL fields.

System action

The program terminates.

Programmer response

  • If n is not zero, increase the REGION value by at least n KB, and ensure that the MAINSIZE value in effect is at least 200 KB.
  • If n is zero and the MAINSIZE value in effect is less than 200 KB, increase the MAINSIZE value to at least 200 KB.
  • If n is zero and the MAINSIZE value in effect is at least 200 KB, reduce the complexity of the application. For example, reduce the number of sort fields or specify OPTION NOVLSHRT, if possible.
