As an example, some debuggers log a trace of the program
and allow you to scroll the log back from the point of failure

PL/I provides a traceback.
Values of variables can be displayed via an ON-unit.
A trace is trivial with PROCEDURENAME.

in order to track down when, where and how variables acquired unexpected values.

help in debugging,
but a good  debugger has a lot more.

Such as?
