- Note:
- This option is equivalent only to the OPTIMIZE parameter of the CRTCBLMOD and
CRTBNDCBL commands for ILE COBOL. This option is not valid for, and
does not appear for the CRTCBLPGM command of OPM COBOL/400.
This field specifies the level of optimization to be done on the
module. Optimization increases code efficiency, but also increases
compile time and decreases reliability of source level debugging.
Initially this field contains the value *CMDDFT. To indicate which
level of optimization to use, click on the down arrow to select one of the
following valid choices:
- *CMDDFT
- No parameter will be passed to the host and the host defined default will
be used.
- *NONE
- No optimization is performed. This is the recommended setting for
debugging, and minimizes compilation time. This is the initial default
of the COBOL commands, as shipped by IBM(R).
- *BASIC
- Some optimization (only at the local block level) is performed.
This allows variables to be displayed but not changed during debugging.
- *FULL
- Full global optimization is performed. Variables can be displayed
but not changed during debugging, although the displayed values may not be
their current values.
