A debugging line is any line with a 'D' (or 'd') in the indicator area of the line. Debugging lines can be written in the Environment Division (after the OBJECT-COMPUTER paragraph), the Data Division, and the Procedure Division. If a debugging line contains only spaces in Area A and Area B, it is considered a blank line.
See "WITH DEBUGGING MODE" on topic 4.1.1.
