When I have an Exception it works fine. The question arises when I want to just log an event or a warning. I want to add my own messaging to at strategic points. I'd like to add the line number to those messages (there is no exception object there).
As I mentioned I found that the debugger includes line numbers but the release exe does not so it always shows zero. At least I haven't found a switch for it. In VFP it's on by default unless you want to strip debug info from the exe. That's my point.
Thx.
