Source information file, needed for z/OS Debugger, Fault Analyzer and APA, incorporated in object (same as for COBOL)

We are working on an ADFz POC.

So it would be eligible that also for PL/I the info necessary for z/OS Debugger, Fault Analyzer and Application Performance Analyzer, is incorporated in the object module and not in separate files :
SYSDEBUG file used by z/OS Debugger and Fault Analyzer for z/OS and LANGX file used by Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS.

This would simplify things !
Same way of working for PL/I as for COBOL.
Currently we're using :
Enterprise PL/I for z/OS V5.R3.M0 and
Enterprise COBOL for z/OS 6.3.0.

    This will be under an option only, of course. Probably a suboption of TEST

    Could please clarify or expand what you are requesting? Do you want the PL/I compiler to generate a NOLOAD class in the object under some option(s)? I think this is the only significant difference between the 2 pages you cite, but maybe I am missing something?
