Support Break After evaluation on statement

Support Break After evaluation on statement.
A second suggestion related to the type of thing above (see RFE ID 2436), especially on CALL and LINK and I-O statements, would be to have the ability to BREAK on a statement AFTER the statement is executed. Then all the monitoring windows and structure expansion would work. This is one of the things that I miss very much from Compuware. They had allowed simply putting a B and/or A on the line number for Break Before execution and/or Break After Execution.
One could even argue that BREAK AFTER evaluation is the better default; then you can keep an eye on results and only shift into hovering operations on the pieces when a result looks incorrect. Since there is usually only 1 result field you can put it at the top of the monitor window for quicker eyeballing or expansion.
