Thanks to all that responded so far. I expected that there is a lot of history
behind the decisions and that makes the decisions persistent and difficult to
change. Although, as Ed pointed out, being able to be confident because of
different values is useful, it’s probably not an option to

That sounds like it would ultimately be confusing. An

But these are production-level programs that are far more complex than your

There are two cases for inlining:
1. The performed paragraph was only performed from one place
2. The performed paragraph was performed from multiple places
I just tested CA InterTest Batch with COBOL 6.2 at OPT(2),INLINE. It definitely
can stop (i.e. catch a breakpoint) set in case 1. For case
Hi,
We use different lpar names for our base systems and recovery system. And
we use that variable to choose the IPL sequence for each situation. As for
smfid and sysname, yes, they usually tend to be the same.

Well said Jim. And I know it is appreciated. Bob thought a lot of you. As you
know, I first crossed paths with Bob and you back in 2008. We hit it off
immediately and I joined you at OPM. I've lost a good friend and mentor.

I meant to add (but hit Send too soon), I am not as much concerned about *how*
the inlining is done as I am in getting the compiler to TELL me that it inlined
some functions, and where that was done.
It would be nice to be able to bypass some procedural code inside a function

Tony,
IBM Sterling Forest used to have tape drives dating back to the stone age
for just this purpose. No idea what the process is to use them, if indeed
they still exist.
Is a 40-year-old tape going to be physically readable? I have no idea, but
wonder. I have some 30-year-plus tapes in

AFAIK, not the way inlining works on any z/OS compiler output I have ever seen.
Recent versions of Enterprise COBOL, for instance, can inline performed
paragraphs (and tell you that they did so) such that no HLL debugger known to

I have been writing some MetalC programs and ran into a case where the normal
OPTIMIZE setting (OPT(2)) provably inlined a couple of small functions. It is
not immediately obvious in the MetalC ASM output, but when the functions are
inlined there is no entry point for them, no FPB or FEPM
The only person that comes to mind is Al Kossow of Bitsavers, but based

Of course the big difference is that SMFID is 4 characters and SYSNAME is 8
