Accessing C and C++ program variables

z/OS® Debugger obtains information about a program variable by name using the symbol table built by the compiler. If you specify TEST(SYM) at compile time, the compiler builds a symbol table that allows you to reference any variable in the program.

Note: There are no suboptions for C++. Symbol information is generated by default when the TEST compiler option is specified.
