Frank,

Most shops have xpeditor for debugging the pgm. Once you have developed the program , then you first run in the batch and see if you are getting the desired results with a simple test case. If you are not then code a display at the crucial points and see if you are able to fix the error. For some reason if you are not able to fix the error , then run the pgm thru xpeditor.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

IBM's LE 370 is a very good tool for debugging. You get more info about the usage and the usefulness more than CA produts.
