Question

Does anybody know whether it’s possible to get the error-row of a file being compiled when the error occurs in an include file?

For example, I’m compiling a file, say abc.p, that uses def.i all over the place. At some point, I make a change to abc.p that causes a compile error in one of the includes, so the message says that the error occurred at line 123 of def.i, but I want to know at which line in abc.p that is. In other words, the line number where the offending include file is used.

Even though “Compiler:Get-File-Name(n)” returns def.i and “Compiler:File-Name” returns abc.p, both “Compiler:Get-Row(n)” as well as “Compiler:Error-Row” returns the line number in def.i.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

My guess would be to save the compiler listing or debug file and look at that.

Beyond that, I don’t think there’s a way to do it now – you need to submit an enhancement request to get this functionality.
