This sound like you want to develop a debugging tool like the built in CICS debugging environment. You start your address space with the debugging tool, then start your application while monitoring. While halted, various commands display various memory areas, instruction sequences, screen areas, 3270 screen, etc, then proceed with the next instructions, or to the next breakpoint or screen send.
