I'm not sure what 'results' you'd like to query; a single line of code
could potentially change thousands of variables - imagine clearing a
DIM() data structure, or CHAIN to a file with many columns for two examples.

Anyway, I like the Code Coverage tool in RDi, which keeps track of what
lines were touched during a program's execution. I suspect Code
Coverage uses the debugger APIs under the covers. The intent of a code
coverage tool is to make sure that all the decisions and actions in your
program were exercised. This may not be what you're looking for though...
