RE: Regarding DBGVIEW(*STMT) in CRTBNRPG

I just did a comparison here are the results. All size in KB

1. All 488
2. None 284
3. List 484
4. stmt 360

You can see the difference clearly here.  In larger programs the
difference could be more dramatic.  

Note: I didn't know that there was a 268gig limit to the size of a
program in ILE.  Learn something everyday or die.

Bob,

Just curious as to why you consider DBGVIEW(*ALL) to be foolish.
