== Why is this an issue?
Debug statements (ones with 'D' or 'd' in the indicator area) should not be executed in production, but the ``++WITH DEBUGGING MODE++`` clause activates all debug lines, which could expose sensitive information to attackers. Therefore the ``++WITH DEBUGGING MODE++`` clause should be removed.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,cobol]
----
SOURCE-COMPUTER. IBM-370 WITH DEBUGGING MODE.
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,cobol]
----
SOURCE-COMPUTER. IBM-370.
