The product was the Action Diagram Debugger, ADD for short.  If memory 
serves, and it well may not, the command was STRADD and you had to add the 
ADD library into your list manually.  I think it was originally written by a 
third party in Israel and then purchased by SSA.  I quit using it years ago, 
because it showed the _WRONG_ variable data if you had more than one view in 
a program, and was practically useless on programs containing SQL statements. 
 I didn't realize that they had dropped the product.  I say "good riddance".  
Using ISDB or Extermin8 in concert with partial commenting during diagram 
generation keeps your RPG skills sharp...
