Just out of morbid curiosity (and with no hostility):

Does DBGVIEW(*STMT) actually serve any useful purpose? It always seems to me that if I do a STRDBG on a program that was compiled with this default value, it brings up the ILE source level debugger, with no source, and no obvious way to do anything.

If there's a way to debug a DBGVIEW(*STMT) ILE program as if it were an OPM program, I've never heard of it.

On a related note, with an ILE program compiled under V4 (with the observability left intact), does DBGVIEW(*NONE) interfere with V6 compatibility?
