RE: [EXTERNAL] Suggestion for logging RPG program

Hi,

Many years ago there was a product called RTPA (Real Time Program Audit) from Paul Harkins that would do what you are requesting.  It would create a spool file showing the execution of your RPG program and the values of the variables at each statement.  We used it for a while.  However, I haven't heard anything from him in at least 10 years.  I tried to google for it to see if there was a web site but came up empty.  There were some references to manuals, but nothing for the software itself.  I don't know if anyone else has more information about it or not.
