Debug: using locks for breakpoints

I usually add a HANG command when I want to start debugging

Hang 15

And call the system or app which runs the specific class method, routine, csp, etc.

This hang gives me some time to go to studio and attach my studio debug to that process according to the name.

I use Serenji. I can start interactive application debugging direct from the Terminal prompt. For a CSP or Zen based web app I can launch my pages in the browser and immediately start stepping through code, or running to soft breakpoints (no changes needed in my source). I can attach to background processes. I can set conditional breaks (e.g. break when variable ABC is set to value 123) or delayed breaks (e.g. stop the tenth time I get to this point). And with the Ensemble edition I can replay sessions command-by-command in a uniquely powerful way.

Disclosure: I created this tool in 1998 and continue to maintain and support it, so you should probably look to others for a more objective opinion of its value. Or try it free for 30 days.

You can just use studio.  Add your class/csp/routine to project, set breakpoints and Debug Target, save project and start debugging by Debug->Go 

It can be CSP or URL

Daimor on github gave a very useful set of classes (I believe v2015 onwards) that allowed you to log anything and everything to a class

https://github.com/daimor/Log

you can pass in event types such as NONE,FATAL,ERROR,WARN, INFO,STAT,DEBUG,RAW and then it will handle just about anything,  objects, strings, lists etc and then just do sql's for the actual messages
