RE: Get source from object?

Well, Scott got me wondering, what *does* DBGVIEW(*SOURCE) add to the
object?  I took one of my programs and compiled it once for each of the six
possible DBGVIEW settings:

           Program
            Object    Debug
DBGVIEW      Size     Data?
-------     ------    -----
*NONE       360448     No
*STMT       417792     Yes
*SOURCE     430080     Yes
*COPY       430080     Yes
*LIST       577536     Yes
*ALL        589824     Yes

The help on Debug Data? states:

  Indicates whether debug data was generated when this
  module was created.  If debug data exists, the module
  may be debugged using the source debugger.

I think this is misleading, because the source debugger does not show any
source or listing for programs created with DBGVIEW(*STMT).  It is a small
step better than *NONE in that it can still be debugged.

I'm sticking with DBGVIEW(*ALL).
