d OO run-time switch

Enables debugging by preventing reuse of object handles from finalized objects.
Restriction: These switches are supported for native COBOL only.

Properties:

Default: Off
Type: OO

Comments:

In normal operation, each time an object is finalized its object handle is available for reuse by the run-time system and can be assigned when a new object is created. Setting +d prevents the run-time system from reallocating object handles.

Do not use this switch for production applications – the run-time system can eventually run out of memory to allocate new handles.
