RE: Trace ILE program lines, variables

Tom,

There've been maybe half a dozen times in the past ten years where a trace of the last hundred or so statement numbers was useful to me, and I've twice missed having that capability in ILE. But I'm lost in understanding why there's significant value beyond that.

Can you describe its value for you?
I can think of one besides debugging - program profiling. Some items that can be determined:

- Is every statement being touched (very useful during testing)?
- Where is the program spending most of its time?
- During testing, if variable changes are tracked it can be an eye opener finding out that a counter might be approaching the maximum, etc.
