Just did a little testing and it would seem that making the SYSDEBUG file results in the PHASE being much smaller than leaving the symbol map in the PHASE. The combination of the two members is actually smaller than the PHASE that's produced when the NOSEPERATE option is used. This may make it feasible to use this in production. -----Original Message----- From: owner-vse-l@Lehigh.EDU [mailto:owner-vse-l@Lehigh.EDU] On Behalf Of Garry Hasler Sent: Friday, November 13, 2009 8:14 AM To: VSE Discussion List Subject: Re: CEETRACE Listing Imbed? Hi Kevin, Oh, ok, I thought you were referring to some COBOL or the SYSDEBUG APAR documentation. I can't really put all the SYSDEBUG documentation in the CEETRACE manual since this will mean constantly tracking the two together when they are essentially unrelated. This is why I just referenced the SYSDEBUG APARs and not much else. CEETRACE's documentation is not intended to be a substitute or replacement for the official COBOL APAR documentation. There is actually some important differences between the .LIST and .SYSDEBUG members. Both do contain compressed source code but the SYSDEBUG version is a much more modern compression. Plus there is the Source Code Extraction utility as part of CEETRACE that allows the reproduction of this source code (and compile time options) where as no such utility exists for the .LIST member. Then there is the symbol table information that is used by LE at dump production time to reference the variable names in full and locate their contents at failure time. This allows the compile option TEST(XXX,SYM,SEP) to not increase the load module size but still produce a comprehensive LE dump at failure time. The .LIST member has no such information and is essentially useless for anything other than Debug Tool.
