Well, I am the one in IBM who did the DWARF data in NOLOAD class segments for COBOL V5, but I am not an expert in BINDER output. I can guess that the BINDER is reporting the executable size (the part that gets loaded when you run) as MODULE SIZE, and the DASD size is the size of the Program Object on disk, which includes the NOLOAD class segments of the PO that contain the DWARF debugging data. That data only gets loaded when someone calls binder APIs to request that the NOLOAD segments be loaded, like, for examples, a Debugger or CEEDUMP local variable formatting.
