Search for the TEST/NOTEST compiler option in the programming guide.

IBM has changed to use the DWARF format to included source and debugging 
information in the load module.  This information is stored in separate load 
module sections marked as NOLOAD sections. They are not loaded when the program 
is loaded into storage at executions time. I asked here some time ago about the 
mechanism to load such NOLOAD section. The answer from (Peter Relson, IIRC), 
was that this is not a public interface. LE would know when and how to load 
such segments. Debug Tools either know as well or know how to ask LE for help 
loading them when required.
