Do you have an ABEND dump or just tracing the flow?

One method for tracing the flow is to use DISPLAY at certain points to show the path taken and field values at those points.

I used to do something similar what Bill has said. In intial years, I used to add DISPLAY for each para-name to understand the flow of the program...
