Re: DBGVIEW and program size

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Worst case scenario, about a 83% increase in DASD usage for
compiled executables.  Considering I'm at 68.67% DASD usage,
I think I have enough room to accomplish this.  Most of my DASD
usage is data rather than programs, so I don't think it would be
problem.  I could see how someone that is approaching their cut off
limit would have a problem though.  And there seems to be a minimal
increase in size if DBGVIEW(*ALL) versus DBGVIEW(*LIST)
(these numbers show a worst case of 2% increase).
