Greetings listmembers and listmemberettes.

I've a question concerning the use of 'with debugging
mode.' in Cobol code. I use this occasionally in my
code to determine logic flow and variable values at
specific points in the code.  Yet, I do not use the
"D" indicator in column 7.  My question is, when I
compile the code and run the object without using the
';parm=1' parameter to invoke the debug process, is
there any performance loss ?  In other words, is leaving
the 'with debugging mode' code in the program, even
though I don't invoke it with ';parm=1' more system
intensive ?

As always, TIA.
