COBDB0101 Statement is too long.

The SQL statement passed to the preprocessor is longer than 65,536 characters. In this case, the preprocessor receives a compressed version of the SQL statement rather than the original source.

Resolution:

Reduce the statement length to less than 65,536 characters. If the SQL statement contains comments or leading and trailing blanks, consider removing these to shorten the statement length. You can also break the SQL statement into multiple statements. Recompile the program after reducing the statement length to less than 65,536 characters.
