  Message:      059
 
  Text:         Program too large to be compiled with OPT (0)
 
  Severity:     Fatal
 
  Explanation:  Your Procedure Division produced more than 64K of
                intermediate code in the root segment.
 
  Resolution:   Use the OPT(1) or OPT(2) directive to produce standard
                generated code, or change your program to make the root
                segment smaller. See also OPT
