For CMS there is a REXXDUMP program which is fairly basic compared to some
of the language debuggers nowadays but it's free. It should be on a
BITNET LISTSERV somewhere...

Alternatively for CMS, use CMS PIPELINES where you can use the statement

'PIPE rexxvars|> myrexx dump a'

This gives a similar format to REXXDUMP but use of the CMS PIPELINES' filters
should allow some nice formatting. I use the PIPES method in many of my
programs and it's proved very helpful.
