PROFILE

PROFILE controls the use of an optional PROFILER to collect performance data for the running application.

Restriction: An application cannot run with both the TEST and PROFILE options in effect. If both are specified, an informational message is generated and Language Environment forces the PROFILE option OFF.

The default value for non-CICS applications is PROFILE(OFF,'').

The default value for CICS® applications is PROFILE(OFF,'').

The default value for AMODE 64 applications is PROFILE(OFF,'').
