Hi,

Many years ago there was a product called RTPA (Real Time Program Audit) from Paul Harkins that would do what you are requesting. It would create a spool file showing the execution of your RPG program and the values of the variables at each statement. We used it for a while. However, I haven't heard anything from him in at least 10 years. I tried to google for it to see if there was a web site but came up empty. There were some references to manuals, but nothing for the software itself. I don't know if anyone else has more information about it or not.
