SYMPTOMS
When you are using Fujitsu COBOL with the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) Assembler (Ilasm.exe), you may experience one or more of the following problems:
- The MSIL Assembler may take a long time to compile the code.
- The COBOL debugger cannot identify the next step because the .line directive is not clear.
- The MSIL Assembler may cause a stack overflow at the YACC utility if many switch-case statements exist in the code.
