Re: *UNREF

Debugging primarily I think. Example, a database field. You don't reference
it in the program but you want to see the value in debug. If you use
*NOUNREF if you try to display it with debug it would not be in memory.
Unless I am using some kind of specific thing for debug, I just always use
*NOUNREF.

Seems like a silly option to have when *UNREF should be the default. Why
allocate something if it is never referenced?

Just tells the compiler to not leave any variable in memory that are not
be used. If I defined a variable named Variable1 but did not use it it
still would have storage allocated to even though it was never referenced.
With *UNREF, no storage is allocated.

I what this option is supposed to do, but I'm wondering why it doesn't
remove the variables from the compiler listing as well?
