GONUMBER

When you specify the compiler option GONUMBER, the compiler generates a "statement number table". This table allows the error handler, when it needs to produce a message for a condition that has been raised, to identify where the condition occurred not only by its offset within the containing procedure, but also by its location within your source program.

This extra information can be very useful in helping you analyze errors in your program. If you choose not to use this option, you should probably use the OFFSET option so that the compiler will produce a table that you can use to determine the source statement from the entry offset.
