OFFSET
Use OFFSET to produce a condensed PROCEDURE
DIVISION listing.
Default is: NOOFFSET
Abbreviations
are: OFF | NOOFF
With OFFSET, the condensed PROCEDURE
DIVISION listing will contain line numbers, statement references, and the location of each
block of instructions generated for a statement. The optimizer might inline paragraphs, move code
around, or indeed place it after the body of the program if little used, such as the error message
formatting code. As a result, there might be more than one entry in the OFFSET
table of a given statement.
These items will also be written to the output listing:
- Constant area
- Program prolog areas (PPA1, PPA2, PPA3, PPA4)
- Time stamp and compiler version information
- Compiler options and program information
- Base locator table
- External symbols dictionary
- Initial heap storage maps
- Stack storage maps
Note: Due to the out of line code used for error
message formatting, Language Environment® generated
offsets, as indicated in "From compile unit {name} at entry
point {name} at compile unit offset {offset}...", might be
outside the offset range of the program. In these cases, refer to
the statement number in the COBOL message (IGZnnnns)
to locate the problem.
