You are correct in that NOOPT has been officially replaced by OPT(0) for COBOL 5 and 6, although NOOPT still still valid.
You can use OPT(1) or (2). I would suggest OPT(0) so all the TEST options work, and the LIST is easier to correlate with your source. After all, why are we debugging? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
