RE: **Debug options**

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

As scott mentioned, *LIST embeds the compiler listing version of the
source into the *MODULE object.
That way, the program may be debugged even on another system, using the
source-level debugger.
*COPY is similar to *SOURCE but also expands the /COPY and externally
described data structures and embeds them into the *MODULE object.
*STMT only allows you to debug using the "old" System/38 system debug
commands ADDBKP, DSPPGMVAR, etc.
*NONE puts no debug stuff in your *MODULE objects, similar to the old
Remove Program Observability function on System/38. So not even the
system-level debugger will debug the program.
*ALL puts all debug views into the *MODULE which you can then select
from when you are debugging the program.

For programs of say 200 lines or less, I tend to use *SOURCE, however
for most source members, I typically use *LIST as it provides the
highest level of debug ability.
