The WITH DEBUGGING MODE Clause 

Function.   

The WITH DEBUGGING MODEclauseindicates that all debugging sections and
all debugging lines are to be included in the object code.  If this
clause is not specified, all debugging lines and sections are treated as
if they were comment lines.

The WITH DEBUGGING MODE clause is not an obsolete feature in ANSI'85 as
it can also be used in the Nucleus.

General Rules.   

   1.  If the WITH DEBUGGING MODE clause is specified in the
       SOURCE-COMPUTER paragraphof the Configuration Section of a
       program, all USE FOR DEBUGGING statements and all debugging lines
       are included in the object code.

   2.  If the WITH DEBUGGING MODE clause is not specified in the
       SOURCE-COMPUTER paragraph of the Configuration Section of a
       program, any USE FOR DEBUGGING statements and all associated
       debugging sections, and any debugging lines are treated as if they
       were comment statements.


NOTE  The WITH DEBUGGING MODE clause is part of the ANSI Nucleus as well
      as the ANSI Debug module.  It is not obsolete and is not scheduled
      to be deleted from the next full revision of the ANSI Standard.
