RE: PUR500D3

A couple of clients have had this same problem in the recent past.
One finally got in touch with a very helpful person at IBM.  The simplified 
explanation was "too many external objects".  In these cases that meant too 
many program calls.  Because the clients were using change-management 
software or internal standards (homogeneity of source type), neither chose 
the ILE route.  What we did was to find multiple calls to single programs, 
convert the calls to EXSR, and create subroutines that made the call for 
each program.  Thus many external references became may fewer external 
references.  It was a bit of work, as several called programs needed to be 
addressed, but the result compiled fine.
