Steve, you can't trace an ILE program with ADDTRC, but with ZTRCPGM you
can.  It's in QUSRTOOL.  See QUSRTOOL/QATTINFO TTEINFO.

I've played with ZTRCPGM and found it useful once when tracing was more
useful than source level debugging.

Gary, it works for me if I do
===> ZTRCPGM SET(*ON) PGM(QTEMP/PROOF) STEP(*OVER) OUTVAR(*ALWAYS)
but only if I do the ZTRCPGM before running the program.

I'm not sure that it's supported to start in the middle of the debug.
The documentation doesn't say one way or the other.
