You may want to look at the DATA Step Debugger, which lets you step
through a program, check the values of variables on the fly, etc.

This is documented (SAS 9.1.3) at
http://support.sas.com/onlinedoc/913/getDoc/en/lrdict.hlp/a000510023.htm

I'm not sure I understand what you are seeking.

A DATA step's Program Data Vector can be referenced in various contexts
with
the _ALL_ keyword and/or the PEEK function.

But that has nothing to do with statements being executed.
