Assume that the users can set their WHERE and ORDER BY dynamically at run
time. And at a given time, they complain that the system is slow. I would
like to look at the SQL statement that was built by the program based on
user input. If I could dump that SQL statement into the job log, I can try
and see why certain indexes are missed/omitted by the optimizer, see if I
can give the user's an easier way to filter/sort, look at response times..
and other performance issues. If there was some way to get this info. Only
when the debug mode is on, then all I need to do is to just start a service
job and then issue the STRDBG command.

This is what I use the /if defined, /if not defined, etc compiler
directives are for.   You can include code that is compiled into the
program based on whether certain symbols are defined.

For example, let's say you had a subprocedure called "Log" that you
wanted to call only when you are debugging a program.   You could
put:

     c/if defined(EXTRA_LOGGING)
     c                   callp     Log('SQL statement: ' + SqlStmt)
     c/endif

into your RPG source, and then when you want to debug the program
you'd compile it like this:

    CRTBNDRPG MYPGM DEFINE(EXTRA_LOGGING)

but, when you compile it for use in production, you'd omit the
"DEFINE(EXTRA_LOGGING)" so that the compiler would ignore those
statements.
