This is kind of an old thread by now but I came across something that might be of interest here. It looks like one of the compile options for ILE programs is the Optimization level. It has 3 options: *NONE Generated code is not optimized. This is the fastest in terms of translation time. It allows variables to be displayed and modified while in debug mode. *BASIC Some optimization is performed on the generated code. This allows user variables to be displayed but not modified while in debug mode. *FULL Optimization which generates the most efficient code. Translation time is the longest. User variables may not be modified but may be displayed, although the presented values may not be the current values. Perhaps if this functionality could be put into production environments it could prevent anyone from changing variable during debug. It may be impractical to get your whole production environment done at once but perhaps if you do have to debug a program it should be recompiled with an optimization level first.

Reason for this is SOX. They want to avoid all the documentation and special approval required to do this. I know, programmer's should not even be looking at production data. And they should probably have a set of test data to do this. And trying to get around these requirements sounds like a breach in the first place. Nonetheless, they are asking.
