Program traces are historical records of some phase of a program's activity. The program listing of a structured program can be indented to show the structure and flow of control. The printed output lines of the flow trace of a structured program can be indented to the level indicated by the indentation of the program listing. By adding this information to the trace output, considerably more information about the program's flow of control is available after execution. More options should be available because it is a structured program that is being traced. Storage traces and subroutine traces also fit into the indentation pattern of the flow trace. The indentation scheme possible because it is a structured program not only shows the control flow better but also gives a better picture of how variables are used and changed.
