3 7 9 Strip Debug

You are here:

Specify whether or not the OAM associated with the table definition should have its associated debug symbolic information removed.

Default = YES (checked/selected).

Tips & Techniques

This information is only required when you are using the IBM supplied debugging aids with the compiled RPG OAM.

Since these situations are relatively rare, the default is YES (debugging information should be stripped). By using this option, the size of the compiled OAM will typically be reduced by 40 to 60%. This size reduction has no bearing on execution speed, just on the size of the compiled object.

Platform Considerations

IBM i: To enable OAMs to be debugged, or in environments where they will be ported from CISC IBM i to RISC IBM i, use option NO (debug information should not be stripped).
