Would someone please help an old man remember if there is a way to access the line number and the filename.4gl filename for use in a 4GL program. I am thinking about something like __FILE__ and __LINE__ in the c language.. Thanks.

Not that I remember ...


Although in Aubit4gl - it would be :

main
display curr_file_name," ", curr_line_no
end main


for example..

Can't do it in traditional 4GL. In 3rd party 4GL clones, notably Querix
Lycia and Aubit4GL (don't know about 4Js) you can embed 'C' code and you
could use that facility, but IB that it's not supported in traditional
Informix 4GL.

I have written a precompiler for 4gl called fglpp - you can easily hack it to
substitute __FILE__ and __LINE__ for you.
Find it in the IIUG software repository, or in my website, link below.
