PL/I for MVS™ and VM and OS PL/I programs

The following table shows various compiler options that can be used to prepare PL/I for MVS™ and VM programs and OS PL/I programs for use with the ADFz family of products (z/OS® Debugger, Fault Analyzer for z/OS® and Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS®). The methods suggested in the following table indicate whether the load module produced has no significant runtime overhead and therefore is suitable for a production environment.

For the test environment, you need both the listing and the LANGX file (for Fault Analyzer for z/OS® and Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS®). In production, only the LANGX file is suggested.
