On some OS'es I've worked on compiling with debug mode adds some overhead into the executable. Is that not the case here? (Or maybe the overhead is negligible these days).

Just curious.

Subject: RE: Do you compile production programs for debug?

Dean,

I was in banking for 18 years and was wondering if the original issue of not having debug was because of the IT auditors?
Sometimes they REALLY go out of their way to try and find something wrong.

I could see how the point was made.

That being said, being able to debug the actual production program without a recompile would be very beneficial.
It may have been compiled using an incorrect source member.
Just recompiling them does not guarantee the same object.

We always had production pgms with debug.

Subject: Do you compile production programs for debug?

One of our developers asked why we don't compile our production programs for debug. Their thought was, it would make it easier to debug a production process when there was a problem. Currently, when we have a production problem the developer tries to recreate it in a test environment. If they can recreate it, they can debug it there. In the rare circumstance they can't recreate it, we do recompile the program for debug and put it into production. Currently, our developers do not have authority to debug production jobs. A few admin types have this authority, so it can be done.

Anyway, what do other people do. Do your production programs that you write and use in house contain debug information? Are there any negative side effects of doing that? Does it impact performance in any way? TIA
