Use position 15 to indicate whether the DEBUG (Debug Function) and DUMP (Program Dump) operations will be done. A 1 in position 15 when the source program is compiled causes the compiler to generate the object code for these operations. When the program is run, DEBUG and DUMP are performed.
The DEBUG entry also controls the contents of the symbol table that is produced with the program. If position 15 contains a 1, the compiler-generated symbols, starting with a period (.), are placed in the symbol table. If position 15 is blank, the compiler-generated symbols are not placed in the symbol table. The symbol table is printed with a program dump. You can then use the compiler-generated symbols in debugging a program.
See the DEBUG and DUMP operations in Operation Codes for more information.
