Increse of COBOL PGT 4 Megabytes Limitation

Encountered IGYAS5159-U Procedure plus constant area exceeded 4 megabytes. "PGT" capacity was exceeded when compiling COBOL program generated via RBD 9.5.

Generated COBOL program from RBD tend to be larger than purely coded COBOL coded program and it's not within the full control of end users.

    Apologies for the delay. Is it possible to test with Enterprise COBOL V6.x (trial version possibly) to see if this is still an issue in the newer releases?

    PGT refers to the COBOL Compiler PGT (Program Global Table).

    COBOL Compiler is "Enterprise Cobol for z/OS 4.2".

    Hi, thank you for submitting the RFE.

    Can you please explain what PGT means? Also, which version of the compiler are you using?

    Thanks.
