Alan, Please post the line from the system messages beginning with 'IEF374I' for the compile step so that we can see how much region it used.
What is the REGION specification for the compile step? Does the COBOL source include any 'EXEC CICS' translator statements? I would personally expect to run a compile of that size in at least REGION=64M and perhaps REGION=128M or more (if I were doing it myself). On Thu, 2 Feb 2006 16:31:47 -0600, Alan C.

Maybe, but if the structure flows very well... maybe not? (It might need a logic/flow analyzer to decipher it.) -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
