SOURCE-COMPUTER Paragraph

The optional SOURCE-COMPUTER paragraph names the computer system on which

the program is compiled and can specify that debugging lines be compiled.

name

is any sequence of ASCII characters except WITH, DEBUGGING, or MODE. It

names the computer system on which the program is compiled.

DEBUGGING MODE

puts any source line that has D or d in its indicator field into the object program,

along with any USE DEBUGGING sections in the Declaratives Portion of the

Procedure Division (see USE DEBUGGING).

The process executes USE DEBUGGING sections only if the PARAM DEBUG ON

command is active in the command interpreter environment. The process executes

debugging lines whether the PARAM DEBUG ON command is active or not.

Note. The 1985 COBOL standard classifies USE DEBUGGING as obsolete, so you are

advised not to use it, even in TNS HP COBOL programs. The NMCOBOL compiler does not

recognize it.
