Debugging using compiler options

You can find the following errors by using compiler options (the options are shown in parentheses):

• Syntax errors such as duplicate data-names (NOCOMPILE)
• Missing sections (SEQUENCE)
• Invalid subscript values (SSRANGE)

You can find the following elements in your program by using compiler options:

• Error messages and locations of the associated errors (FLAG)
• Program entity definitions and references; text-names and library-names from COPY or BASIS statements, and the associated data sets or files from which copybooks are obtained (XREF)
• Data items in the DATA DIVISION (MAP)
• Statement references (VBREF)

You can get a copy of your source (SOURCE) or a listing of generated code (LIST).

You prepare your program for debugging by using the TEST compiler option.
