Debugging options (DBGVIEW) for ILE COBOL

Select one of the following to choose how to debug your ILE COBOL program or module:

*CMDDFT
No parameter will be passed to the host and the host defined command default for the DBGVIEW parameter will be used.

*STMT
The compiled module can be debugged using symbolic names and statement numbers. The system host debugger supports this, but the CODE/400 Debug Tool does not.

*SOURCE
The compiled program can be debugged at the source-level in the CODE/400 Debug Tool and the system host debugger.

*LIST
The compiled program can be debugged at the listing-level in the CODE/400 Debug Tool and the system host debugger. With this option, you can debug the module even if the source or program are subsequently moved after the compile. However, this option will increase the size of your compiled object, without affecting the runtime performance of it.

*ALL
Equivalent to specifying *STMT, *SOURCE and *LIST combined.

*NONE
If you select this choice, you will not be able to use the CODE/400 Debug Tool or system debugger on this module. This option is typically used on the production level of the module, once all testing is complete.

compress-listing-view
Specifies if the listing view is compressed or not when *LIST or *ALL is specified in debug-view. The possible values are:

*NOCOMPRESSDBG

The listing view is not compressed.

*COMPRESSDBG

The listing view is compressed when *LIST or *ALL is specified in debug-view.
