COBOL 5 - TEST(NODWARF) for non-IBM debug tool users

This requirement is similar to existing requirement 75048 "Cobol V5 - Evolution for TEST option-TEST(EJPD,NODWARF) for non IBM debuging tools"

IBM provides in Enterprise COBOL version 5 a sub-option for the TEST compiler option - NOTEST(NODWARF).

This requirement is for IBM to provide NODWARF capability for TEST, just as today a "NODWARF" capability is provided for the NOTEST option.

    This RFE will be considered for a future compiler version. The RFE will be updated once it has been put into plan.
