MCH2804 - Tried to go larger than storage limit for object

[NickLitten]

This is driving me nuts!

Anyone seen this error when compile CL MODULES?

Tried to go larger than storage limit for object

I only see this for CL MODULES that use INCLUDE Statements. For this application, I use them at the header (sucking in some common variables) and a CL INCLUDE at the footer (sucking in a common error handling subroutine). The second CL INCLUDE Is failing with: *Function check. MCH2804 unmonitored by QCLCMPXH at statement N, instruction X'0019'.

But no problem if I do it from CLI in green screen.... I simply copy the create command and paste it into green screen the CL module compiles just fine from the IFS repository.

Looking at the joblog for the fail it seems to load the copybook ok:

/home/nicklitten/builds/V7400/includes/CLFOOT-Error.clleinc was successfully copied to object /QSYS.LIB/QTEMP.LIB/QCLTEMPINC.FILE/INCMBR.MBR in CCSID (Coded Character Set Identifier) 37.

but the next line it fails

MCH2804 Escape 40 25-04-08 22:44:07.877904 #somodx 0021D8 QCLCMPXH QSYS 0019
From user . . . . . . . . . : NICKLITTEN
Message . . . . : Tried to go larger than storage limit for object &1.

Solution is to copy the CRTCLMOD command paste it into the command line and boom it compiles first time.

I've tried editing the copybooks to make them smaller and this does nothing.

Any ideas? Save this aging programmers few remaining dark hairs from going white....

I get the same failure for 2 CL programs, about 50 others in the same project compile successfully.
None of the source has any INCLUDE statements.

I have not had time to investigate any further yet.

Just to add to the issue, I too am getting this error when trying to compile a CLLE program. Fortunately, I was able to copy the code a source file and compile it through the Green Screen without any issues.

I am just making a guess, but the issue may be on line 113 in makei/crtfrmstmf.py, where the temporary file created to store the CLLE source is being exceeded. The default record length of 32,000 is too small in some instances, which causes the crash.

In my situation, my source has 27,846 characters, but there might be additional text added as a part of the command which pushes it beyond the 32,000 maximum.

Sounds like good suggestion.
So far I have identified 2 CLLE programs that fail this way, both source files have over 60,00 characters.
