I think what he was referring to was not eliminating the I/O per se,
but eliminating the debugger stepping thru each field as it is moved
from the buffer to the field itself.  This is rarely useful in RPG
debugging, and the Option( *NoDebugIO ) was created for this very
reason.  But it is only in the base release of V4R3; it is availavle
via PTF for releases all the way back to V3R2!

This option was actually added before V4R2 was publicly released, but
after it was locked down so the PTF is needed for V4R2 as well.

The *SrcStmt is a separate option added by the same PTF's.

Aside to Chanh Le:  The syntax was close, but you need to separate the
options with a : delimiter, i.e. Option( *SrcStmt : *NoDebugIO )

You also need a PTF for versions prior to V4R3.  I think these numbers
are still accurate (but maybe have been superceeded) since this is a
clip from Barbarra Morris' posting last Feb announcing availability.

PTFs are available for V3R2, V3R6, V3R7 and V4R2 that address the
problem.  Currently the PTFs only fix TGTRLS(*CURRENT) - the other
TGTRLS PTFs will be available soon.
