Slightly larger objects. That's it.

We deliberately *don't* use *LIST for the IP reason - it's just too likely
that we could accidentally ship a program with the source included - we have
a process to do an UPDPGM just prior to shipping that removes debug info,
but we're concerned about something getting missed.

I've often wondered whether IBM could have included some processing to
include an encrypted version of the source in a program, so it could be
debugged, but only by someone who had a debug password.

I always compile with DBGVIEW(*SOURCE) so that production issues can be

I have a frontend to the STRDBG command which overrides the source file
location so it points back to the development machine on which the
source file resides.

However, there is a move afoot to change the default for all our
compiles to DBGVIEW(*LIST), the argument being that will then not matter
where the source is (sometimes it's been moved to another file?)
Apart from distributing the intellectual property along with the
executable, what are the objections to this strategy.
