We can use the MONITOR and REVERSE commands to ‘go back’ to previous steps. First give the MONITOR command and then give the REVERSE command. Now if you press PF9 it will start tracing backwards. If you want to again go forward give REVERSE again.
Some more Information…
The MONITOR and REVERSE commands are used to activate review mode. Review mode enables you to record and then review the execution path by reversing the direction of program execution. Use the MONITOR command before executing your program to record execution. Then use the REVERSE command to review the execution history by tracing through the recorded history in the reverse direction. You can see the execution path and the changing data values as you review program execution. MONITOR records the program's execution in a buffer. The default buffer size is 1M. XPEDITER/TSO wraps and overwrites the existing data when the buffer is filled. Use the SET REVSIZE command to increase or decrease the buffer size. Review mode can be used with OS/VS COBOL, COBOL II, and CA-OPTIMIZER. However, ANSI COBOL 68 is not supported. Review mode is not valid in an unattended batch test.
Usage Notes
1. MONITOR without a module name records history for the current module—not necessarily the active module where execution is located, but the module indicated by the program field on the third header line.
2. Use a list of module names to monitor the execution path that spans multiple called COBOL modules.
3. Use the DELETE command to stop recording the execution history.
4. The REVERSE and RESUME commands are valid only if MONITOR has first been turned on.
5. Issuing a MONITOR ALL command in an initial script or at the beginning of the test session allows you to review the execution of all COBOL statements.

Who is Scott in Oracle??
You must have always wondered why the uname / pwd in Oracle is Scott/Tiger....
Who is this Scott ? Here is the answer to ur query.... ..
Bruce Scott was one of the first employees at Oracle (then Software Development Laboratories). He co-founded Gupta Technology (now known as Centura Software) in 1984 with Umang Gupta, and later became CEO and founder of PointBase, Inc. Bruce was co-author and co-architect of Oracle V1, V2 and V3. The SCOTT schema (EMP and DEPT tables), with password TIGER, was created by him. Tiger was the name of his cat.
Scott has led the drive to develop new data management architectures that capitalize on emerging computing paradigms - following the migration from mainframes to mini-computers; from personal computers to servers; and from servers to personal systems and devices. After co-founding Oracle in 1977 and helping that company revolutionize the database market, Scott went on to co-found Gupta Technology in 1984 with Umang Gupta. Serving as vice president of Database and Connectivity Research and Development, he provided the company with database technology leadership for more than ten years. While at Gupta, he invented SQLBase, the first commercially available PC-oriented client/server database and the patented software development design paradigm for SQLWindows.
From Gupta, Scott founded PointBase, bringing to market a platform-independent technology that enabled applications to manage, synchronize, and extend data across networks of servers, desktops, laptops, and mobile/wireless devices. As president and chief executive officer, he led the company's efforts in developing Java-based application-embedded databases for enterprise mobility applications.

How to master a foreign language
STEP 1: Think of a language as a way of expressing meaning. Each language chooses different sounds and arrangements of sounds, to express meaning.
STEP 2: Try to "forget" your native language's grammar as much as you can while you're learning the new language. This will prevent "interference" from your native language.
STEP 3: Identify how your native language and the new language do things differently and keep these in mind when speaking the foreign language.
STEP 4: Review early and often.
STEP 5: Find a tutor to give you feedback on what you're doing correctly and incorrectly.
STEP 6: Keep lists of new vocabulary and sentence constructions. Review as much as you can each day.
STEP 7: Visit a place where the language you're studying is a native tongue, if possible. Speak your own native tongue as little as possible while you're there.
Tips & Warnings
Get a good bilingual dictionary. It'll go a long way to helping you build new vocabulary.
If you can't visit a place full of native speakers, then watch movies and TV programs in the native language. Read newspapers, too, and learn songs.
Don't be discouraged when the words don't flow. The only way to really master the grammar is to speak the language a lot. Develop a thick skin.
If you're afraid you'll sound like a fool, you won't ever learn how to speak correctly.
