Honestly, I think the easiest way to inspect variables while a macro is running is to use my "VIP - Variable Inspector Prompt". Unfortunately, it seems to scare people, because it's got so many options.

The easy way to use it is to import it, then look at the first macro, "10)Introduction". There's a green group.
Clear out the "Dictionary Names" parameter. Then copy the Group, and paste it into a macro where you want to look at values. I've added the green group as a Favorite.
Pretend it's a standard "Prompt for User Input" action.
When the Macro gets to the group, it shows you all the variables that KM as accessed up to this point:
One of these days I'll make a short video about it.
