I'll second what Mike said about TRACEXEC. It's a great tool. It's not
going to do what you envisioned originally as far as working with two
screens, but you should consider TRACEXEC anyway.

Florian,
By now you've received a number of excellent tips. Nonetheless, take a
look at TRACEXEC on the IBM VM Download page.

It never hurts to have more tools than you might need at the moment, or at
least know about their existence.
The brief package description includes
---<snip>---
TRACEXEC is a tool for analyzing and debugging EXEC applications. It does
about five different things:
TRACEXEC is an interactive debugger for interpreted REXX execs. You'll
never need to modify code by inserting TRACE instructions again; just use
TRACEXEC to set or clear breakpoints. You can set breakpoints using
line-mode commands, or you can do it in a visual mode via an Xedit
interface.
If you don't need the full level of tracing control provided by TRACEXEC,
you can still use it to specify that the EXECTRAC flag should be
automatically turned on, or off, for specific execs. This can be useful
for tracing a single exec buried deep within an application, as well as
for tracing non-REXX execs.
TRACEXEC is a run-time profiler for interpreted REXX execs. It can record
both frequency of execution and CPU usage for each line within a REXX
exec.
TRACEXEC is a run-time profiler for EXEC applications. It records both
frequency of execution and CPU usage for each EXEC within a multi-exec
application. All interpreted and compiled EXEC languages are supported.
TRACEXEC can be used to reveal the flow of logic in a multi-exec
application, by displaying a message when an exec is entered (showing the
exec name and arguments) or exited (showing CPU time and return code). All
interpreted and compiled EXEC languages are supported.
This is TRACEXEC Version 2.06.

I confess to never having tried it, but have read through the doc...
pretty cool!

Second screen in a z/VM CMS session
Dear all,
I am wondering if there is a utility available that would allow to use a
dialed screen to a VM running CMS?
As I understand, there is the possibility to make multitasking
applications under CMS. Also full screen is supported nowadays.
It would be great to have on one screen a REXX procedure edited while on
the VM console that exec could be tested.
Thank you very much in advance.
