Hopping on the way back machine here...
If you can modify the program in question a tiny bit, you can achieve what you want. Below is an option.
When the program is started execute a function or subroutine that
1. Starts tracing the job. You can call a CL program to run the trace commands if you want. API's QCMDEXC and QCAPCMD can also be used.
2. Sends a scope message. You can use the Send Scope Message (QMHSNDSM) API to do this.
Scope type would be *PGM so the trace can be ended and the trace information gathered.
The scope message handling program does...
1. Ends the trace.
2. Gathers the trace information for you.
Taking a step further...
You can have some mechanism telling the program to do the trace or not.
Hope this helps.

i have a huge program that i would like some kind of trace report
showing what lines of code are executed. Its an RPGLE program.
Many users use this program during the day. If i counld dump all the
trace information into a file that would be great.
Any suggestions?
PS. This program does call other programs/services programs, but i am
only interested in the one programs lines executed.
