As I understand it, at least all debugging information (TEST option) is now added as deferred data classes in the program object instead of being sent to a separate dataset at compile time.
The COBOL Pgmr's Guide says to totally eliminate TEST data use NOTEST(NODWARF). Not sure if that eliminates all deferred classes though.

COBOL V5.1 for z/OS generate deferred data class(es) at all? Is this being controlled by some compiler option that can be negated? Obviously, Ent. COBOL V4.2 for z/OS does not do this. -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
