Peter, I'll start by saying I've never used this option. It does sound interesting. From what I have read would you not also need the "WITH DEBUGGING MODE" setup in the called program.

From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Farley, Peter Sent: Sunday, December 31, 2023 6:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Questions about COBOL debugging lines in subroutines I have a little mystery concerning debugging lines ("D" in column 7) in COBOL subroutines compiled in the same input file as the main program. Sample output and code are pasted below. The execution JCL for this sample program includes a CEEOPTS DD with the LE "DEBUG" option set so debugging lines SHOULD display on SYSOUT. In my little test, only the debugging line in the main program displays on SYSOUT. Q1: Can anyone tell me why the debugging line in the subroutine does not execute at run time? Q2: Is there any way I can adjust the code or the compile process to cause the subroutine debugging line to execute at run time? Peter Sample SYSOUT output: DBGSAMPL I=+000000003,J=+000000004,K=+000000002 Sample COBOL code compiled as a single SYSIN file to the compiler, using options 'AR(EX),DS(S),NOSEQ': IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
