Does DBGVIEW(*STMT) actually serve any useful purpose? It always seems to me that if I do a STRDBG on a program that was compiled with this default value, it brings up the ILE source level debugger, with no source, and no obvious way to do anything.


Some level of debug view is necessary to support the formatted dump. If I recall correctly, it's because of the formatted dump that ILE RPG and ILE COBOL default to the statement view rather than defaulting to *NONE.

It's possible to debug from the statement view, but you pretty much need to have a listing available. It's almost as awkward as the old strdbg + addbkp + dsppgmvar, brrr.

Say you send a program to someone but don't want them to be able to see your code through a source or listing view. If it has a statement view, you can still debug it on their system if you have your listing.
