You're  right. It turns out to be MAP (at least I think so) that is the

Yeah, guess we're really talking about two things as Jim Marshall  indicates. 
One is speed of compiles and use of processor cycles for  debuggging. 
Remember the days of desk checking and code review?
 
 Anyway, vendor code/shop standards whatever need to be assimilated  into the 
mix. I've been in shops that required Listings and Maps of every  production 
program. Sometimes it was paper, sometimes fiche, sometimes  CD(Filetek) but 
hardcopy anyway. No matter how clean it runs in test, real data  from real 
devices and real TP lines is subject to nefarious factors of physics  and 
Murphy.
