The WITH DEBUGGING MODE Clause

The WITH DEBUGGING MODE clause indicates 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.
