Re: Suggestion for logging RPG program

Many, many moons ago, one of the magazines (ah - the good old days!) published a utility that used the debugger APIs (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4.0?topic=ssw_ibm_i_74/apis/debug1.html) to produce a listing of the executed statements.  These are the APIs used by IBM's code coverage tools, and that is the closest thing I am aware of to the OP's requirements.

Maybe someone has a copy of the original tool?
