STRDBG should support showing variables for a selected recursive level

In ILE Cobol you can use the keyword "IS RECURSIVE" so that this program can be called recursively. To have own storage for each recursive call you can define these variables under "LOCAL-STORAGE SECTION".

Currently the debugger (STRDBG) can only show or change LOCAL-STORAGE variables at the current recursion level.

But we want also to show or change LOCAL-STORAGE variables for a lower recursion level.

In other debuggers like gdb we can select the stack frame to show the variables of the desired recursion level.
