Ah! Would it be possible to "replace" TRACE with your own service routine, that would do TSO full-screen presentation of the data, rather than Rexx's line I/O. Interesting question. That would be a useful "product."
You can write code that Rexx will call for all I/O including Say. See Chapter 14 of the TSO Rexx reference. I have done this sort of thing; it is not for the faint-hearted. I am *guessing* that Rexx would call it for TRACE I/O. There are special considerations for Say under TSO. As I say, not for the faint-hearted. I would think you could "trap" Rexx debug input and output and display it using your own presentation format. You can also read and write Rexx variables from outside Rexx using IRXEXCOM. It's documented in the same manual. Take a look also at IRXIC.

Oh! (-: I meant, instead of using TRACE ?I in a Rexx program (like COBOL READY TRACE) you could in an ISPF-like full screen program trace a Rexx program. Put in breakpoints, display variable values, change them, and on and on.
