All the OS/360 compilers I remember had an option to turn on or
off keeping the statement numbers. When memory was small, it might
have made a difference.


In the case of PL/I on the 360/91, though, when statement numbering
was on the compiler generated BR 0 instructions between each statement,
which flushes the 360/91 (and any other out-of-order processor) pipeline
such that the number would be right. That was the default on the
systems I used, too.
