Discussion
%LINE is useful if you’re using internal trace features to indicate which statement is being executed. Such tracing techniques are often helpful during the initial debugging of a complicated program.
Use MODNAME in .NET, but note the specified limitations.
Examples
The following debugging routine clears the bottom line of the screen and displays the line number and routine name of the program’s current execution position.
subroutine show_line record name ,a10 line_n ,d4 proc xcall modname(0, name) line_n = %line display(TTCHN, $scr_pos(24,1), $scr_clr(line), & "At line ", ^a(line_n), "in routine ", name) forms(TTCHN, 1) xreturn endsubroutine
