APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.1.0
  
  The "create paragraph" quick-fix in the COBOL Editor may fail
  with the Java StackOverflowError for COBOL programs having more
  than 8000 lines of code.
  
  It can take several minutes to display the quick fix options for
  some programs.
  
  Recreation scenario:
  Open a large COBOL program using the COBOL editor
  Add Perform XYZ
  Highlight Perform XYZ
  CTRL+1 or
  right click and select Quick fix
  
  Eventually this will give you the option to create a new
  paragraph for XYZ.  When you select to create the new paragraph
  you may receive a StackException.
  

Local fix

• You can modify the -Xss parameter in the eclipse.ini to
  alleviate this issue.
  

Problem summary

• Based on how long the program and the complexity inside the
  source  program some options to create new paragraph at
  different locations inside the source program cause issues.
  

Problem conclusion

• Need to change the implementation to create new paragraph at the
  end of the source program.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1.2 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
