Debugging lines

A debugging line is any line with a D (or d) in the indicator area of the line. Debugging lines can be written in the environment division (after the OBJECT-COMPUTER paragraph), the data division, and the procedure division. If a debugging line contains only spaces in Area A and Area B, it is considered a blank line.

See “WITH DEBUGGING MODE” in SOURCE-COMPUTER paragraph.
