Fault Analyser - Cobol 6.1 Dwarf + Side File

For Cobol v6.1 programs, when not in debug mode, we use compile options NOTEST(DWARF),NOSTGOPT,OPTIMIZE(2) and this allows FA to give only the line no of a failing statement. We would like FA to give us the actual failing source statement plus variables and their contents. ​ We are still producing an IDILANGX side file so we'd like FA to use this to get the program source even though it has detected that the program is using Dwarf.
