First, I agree with you that a 140,000 line program is NOT a "good thing" -
but it certainly does occur in the "real world".
If this is a CICS (or possibly DB2) program, make certain that you are NOT
using the
SIZE(MAX)
compiler option (as there needs to be room for the coprocessors).
As someone else has already indicated, make certain that your JCL "region"
is large enough.
Finally, TRY using
NOSSRANGE
and
NOOPT
and see if this works. using these "non-optimal" compiler options can
reduce (sometimes by a LOT) the "size" required to compile LARGE COBOL
programs.
