Re: Find a line of code in error

If your are referring to RPGLE then in the H specification add Option( *Srcstmt ) , the recompile.This will use the source statement sequence numbers. Then when a dump ocurs the statement number will match the source statement number.
Of course this was always the way rpg/400 was handled.
 Good Luck

Subject: Find a line of code in error

When an error is received on a program. A message is sent to the console and displayed.  You can move the curser over the error and press F1 to show the line number in error. But unless you have a compiled listing, you have no reference for that line of code in the source.  I have looked at the Create RPG Program option hoping that there was an option to put the compiled line number in the source. Does not look like there is an option for that.
So now we have to either use the Joblog or re-compile the program and look at the compiled listing to find the reference number of the line of code that failed. We then have to go and see what data was enter or ask the user what they entered. Most of the time they do not remember.
I would like to know how others handle this?
