RPG Compile error: --> CPD6311 message: 'Label on statement caused more than 32,767 objects '

When my RPG compile is submitted with the GENOPT(*LIST) parameter, I get the
message:  CPD6311:  'Label on statement caused more than 32,767 objects to
be defined'

The compile joblog shows message CPF6301:  Intermediate representation of
program (IRP ) contains 30 errors.  Probable compiler error.

My question to you is:
 - What are these 32,767 objects?  Are they: 
 - Field names in program? 
 - Array elements? 
 - Files and field names defined? 
 - All the afore-mentioned?

This arbitrary limit in RPG gives us a headache every time we try to add a
few lines of code to this program.  I will appreciate any suggestions you
can provide.
Thanks
