I that case I would create a subset of records to process in a test
environment and run against that customers records.  You can also look
at the job, open files to get the record number when it errors.  You can
then display that file, using many different utilities, selecting the
record by record number.  No debug even involved.  A dump will also give
you the record number at the time of the crash.

I was resisting a reply but if the variable is not used in the
program,
why do you care what value it has?

Suppose you had a program that totals up all invoices for the day, and
it 
crashed, and you were trying to find out why...   You talk to the user
in 
accounting who normally runs this, and she says "there were some issues 
with customer #1234. Is that what's causing it to crash?" So you try to 
look at the customer number when it crashes.

But, the program doesn't use the customer number because the program
just 
want's a total of all invoices for the day.  So the customer number
field 
displays zeroes.
