Environment

Release : 8.7

Component : CA 2E

Resolution

The problem is it has so many internal functions and especially some user points are very huge in the some functions.

To overcome that huge source generation and 16MB run unit error you can restrict comment generation by changing the YGENCMT model value. 
YCHGMDLVAL MDLVAL(YGENCMT) VALUE(*NO)

The 16MB memory limitation is imposed by IBM.

Please notice that the best practice is to modularize the huge function by converting some of the independent internal functions as external functions. Therefore, you may consider re-module your PGM to avoid too many independent internal functions.
