Re: [WDSCI-L] Odp: Source debug

[MichaelQuigley@xxxxxxxxxx]

Re-translation requires the program "template".  I don't have the exact 
reference handy, but believe I read in Fortress Rochester that this is no 
longer removed even if you do a CHGPGM with RMVOBS specified.  However, 
the debug information is removed.

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.
