SPILL

The SPILL option specifies the size of the spill area to be used for the compilation. When too many registers are in use at once, the compiler dumps some of the registers into temporary storage that is called the spill area.

If you have to expand the spill area, you will receive a compiler message telling you the size to which you should increase it. Once you know the spill area that your source program requires, you can specify the required size (in bytes) as shown in the syntax diagram above. The maximum spill area size is 3900. Typically, you will need to specify this option only when compiling very large programs with OPTIMIZE.
