Jerry, there was nothing done specifically for RPG in V5R1 regarding
statement tracing.  At least, not by the RPG compiler, and I think any
system change applying to RPG would apply to all languages, or maybe all
ILE languages.

Since such a feature would be non-RPG-specific, you might get more or
better responses if you post this in the more general MIDRANGE-L list.

Prior to V5R1, there were a couple of command parameters regarding
performance (ENBPFRCOL and PRFDTA) added to the ILE compiler commands.
I think you can read about them in the Info Center under Systems
Management->Performance.  But I don't know if any of the performance
tracing tools can give information at the statement level.
