Fine-tuning your programs for z/OS® Debugger

After initial testing, you might want to consider the following options available to improve performance and reduce size:

• Compile your COBOL programs with optimization compiler options, as described in Debugging optimized COBOL programs. You cannot debug PL/I and C/C++ programs that are optimized.
• Removing the hooks, which can improve the performance of your program.
• Removing the statement and symbol tables, which can reduce the size of your program.
