Apologies if I am repeating something that was noted earlier in the thread that I didn't see.

I think I saw somewhere that the debug source in the program does not effect performance of the program, but like Vern says, it just makes the program object bigger. For some reason, I am thinking that the observability information is not normally loaded at execution time, but only if needed (such as for a dump or debug) but can not provide a reference for this.

While I use the DEBUGVIEW(*ALL) so WDSC debugger can always find the source, I would not remove observability unless it is a product you are sending out to other people and you do not want them to be able to see your code. For use internally, I don't think the program object size matters that much and I believe that you want to keep the observability for possible future re-translations and being able to see the variables in any possible program dumps.

I like using DBGVIEW(*ALL) when I create the program. Yes, this makes the program object larger, but when your testing is done, use CHGPGM to remove observability - this will remove the debug information from the program object.
