Re: Do you compile production programs for debug?

We are also in the financial industry, so we are pretty tight with security here. Developers can see most production data, but they don't have update rights.

I guess our developer didn't really want to debug a production job, but they did want to be able to debug production programs with test data.

debugging the Accounts Payable check program:

Why would a programmer have that level of access to a production system?
Personally, I would address that before I'd worry about leaving debug in
production apps.
