Re: Line numbers on RPG/LE error messages

M
Hello Ken,

The solution is to check the line numbers in the COMPILER listing.  That is 
consistent with 
the behaviour of most compilers.  However IBM have taken pity on you and you 
can specify 
OPTION(*SRCSTMT) to force the compiler to assign statement numbers that match 
the SEU source 
numbers.  It is built in to VRM430 and PTF'd back to VRM320.  Check the 
midrange archive for 
the PTF numbers.  Note that the PTFs provide the support only via an H-spec 
keyword.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
