XMLSS actually broke one of our application's programs. They had to re-compile to change it to COMPAT for that program to make the application work properly. Also, in COBOL 3.4, we used to specify TEST=(NONE,NOSYM). There is no equivalent in 4.1 other than to specify TEST=NO. Anything else, you get the full debug symbol table buried in your load module, bloating it severely.
Hmmm. The XML problem / bug should be reported if you haven't already. As far as TEST, yes, the syntax changed a bit. Consider this: TEST(NOHOOK,SEPARATE) on a PROCESS statement this will save your symbol table in an external file at compile time; you need to supply a compile-time DD statement named SYSDEBUG that points to where you want to store the symbol table; the name of the file will be stored in your object code, so it has practically no impact on the size of your load module; if your program abends, the symbol table will be dynamically allocated in order to provide a formatted dump of the data division.
