MESSAGE(1) and source code when error

[JimmyK]

Hi,
I want display command line (source code) when there is an error. MESSAGE(1) does this job when i run PRG files in developement environment.
When i build the project to EXE file. It does not work!
So, how can i work around this problem? Is there any options?

Thank

Hi
MESSAGE(1) will provide the code only if the source code is available (even if it is an executable). Else it provides.. one of the following..

The entire program line if the line is macro substituted.
A command if the line contains a command without any additional clauses.
A command followed by three dots (...) if the line contains a command and additional clauses
*****************************************************

Same way LINENO(1) returns..the line number relative to the first line of the current program or procedure. If you omit the 1 argument, the line number is returned relative to the first line of the main program.

May be this could help you out is used properly.
*****************************************************
Hope this information is of use to you

As an addition to Ramani's comment, if you are using referential integrity and a DBC, at runtime, the code can also give you the code of the database (which is the last line of available source code, executed). In essence, usually useless info at runtime.

Thank Ramani, Weedz
I solve the problem by log the value of Line(1), and then search the source code in development environment. (reluctant to do so

)

Once again, thank a lot

In the Project Info dialog (from the Project Menu), check "Debug Info". This will allow MESSAGE() to display the offending line of code from an EXE. If you do this, I highly recommend also checking "Encrypted", which will prevent somebody from viewing your source code by simply opening the EXE with a text editor.
