My SMS routines are all pretty straight forward (after I seriously rewrote them a few years back due when they were in the state you describe :)
Filtlist(s) Entry writes/debug (Each routine echoes the primary variable it will be using(for non-Temp datasets:) A Select where most of the work is done. (Each possible outcome writes a unique message code) Exit writes/debug (What did the routine set) When I was reworking them, I made extensive use of ISMF's Naviquest. Naviquest had a strange learning curve, but was useful in the end. From what I read in you posts, you may not like it. It is basically running ISMF test panels, etc. in batch and is not cpu friendly. I wrote a bit of Rexx to turn my debug output on and off, but in the end, I usually just leave the writes turned on.
