The following table shows various compiler options that can be used to prepare Enterprise PL/I Version 3.5 and Version 3.6 programs for use with the IBM Problem Determination Tools products (IBM Debug Tool for z/OS, IBM Fault Analyzer for z/OS and IBM Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS). The methods suggested in the following table indicate if the load module produced is suitable for a production environment. Load modules suitable for a production environments have no significant run-time overhead.
Compiler options | Source information file type produced | Is the load module production ready? | Options supported and suggested for Debug Tool for z/OS | Options supported and suggested for Fault Analyzer for z/OS | Options supported and suggested for Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Preprocess (1st stage) to expand source, In
compile (2nd stage): For Enterprise PL/I Version 3.5: TEST(ALL, SYM, NOHOOK, SEPARATE), NOPT, AGGREGATE, ATTRIBUTES (FULL), NOBLKOFF, LIST, MAP, NEST, NONUMBER, OFFSET, OPTIONS, SOURCE, STMT, XREF(FULL) For Enterprise PL/I Version 3.6: TEST(ALL, SYM, NOHOOK, SEPARATE, SEPNAME), NOPT, AGGREGATE, ATTRIBUTES (FULL), NOBLKOFF, LIST, MAP, NEST, NONUMBER, OFFSET, OPTIONS, SOURCE, STMT, XREF(FULL) |
SYSDEBUG file used by Debug Tool for z/OS and Fault Analyzer for z/OS. LANGX file used by Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS | Although the module is larger than a module compiled with the NOTEST option, you can use the module in production if needed. | Suggested for test. You can also use these options in a production environment if the increased load module size is not an issue. | ||
