I suspect one reason some shops demand that DISPLAYs are removed is
historical - when they displayed on the operator's console.

But when development DISPLAYs are to be removed - it's worth
considering code like this:

002200  SOURCE-COMPUTER.                                            
002300 **             IBM-390 WITH DEBUGGING MODE.                  
002400                IBM-390.                                      
- - -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  805 Line(s) n
083000 D         DISPLAY 'BILL ONLY RUN'
