Michael,

It should "jump over this line" anyway. This line is the preprocessor directive that is implemented while compiling.

Also, in the debugger you will not be able to watch GB_SystemName: it is not a variable during run time, it does not exist during run tiem, and it is replaced with its values "Frantisi Database System" in the compiled code.

Try to add something like:

lo= GB_SystemName

immediately after #INclude, and watch "lo" variable while debugging.
