z/OS MVS Program Management: User's Guide and Reference
SA23-1393-00

The STRIPSEC option allows you to remove unneeded sections from a program object or load module.

STRIPSEC={PRIV|YES | NO}

STRIPSEC=PRIV
Specifies that unreferenced unnamed sections are to be removed. Sections removed by STRIPSEC=YES are always a superset of STRIPSEC=PRIV. See the note below for more information concerning unreferenced sections.
STRIPSEC=YES
Specifies that unreferenced and unreferenced unnamed sections are to be removed. Sections removed by STRIPSEC=PRIV are always a subset of STRIPSEC=YES. See the note below for more information concerning unreferenced sections.

If STRIPSEC is specified without a value, it is treated as STRIPSEC=YES.

STRIPSEC=NO
Is the default value and specifies that unreferenced sections are not to be removed.
Note: For a section to be considered unreferenced, it must:
  • Contain no symbols that are referenced by an ESD
  • Contain neither an entry point nor an alias
  • Contain no exported symbols
  • Not be the target of a control statement
