I'm not sure what you're asking here Max.

[maxchen]

hmm, I mean the line number is not show in the log, for example

4 wfcreate u 7
5 c(1) = @verstr
Non numeric argument in line 5 "C(1) = @VERSTR".

The documentation is incorrect. The documentation for 'logmode' currently reads

hideprogline/-hideprogline [Hide/Do not hide] the program line number when reporting errors encountered during execution.

It should read

hideprogline/-hideprogline [Hide/Do not hide] the program line when reporting errors encountered during execution.

To elaborate on this, normally when an error is encountered in a program you will get 2 things: 1)the error and 2)the program line generating the error.

For example, if you run the program:

Code: Select all

create u 10 show x

you will get the error

X is not defined in "SHOW X".

But if you add 'logmode hideprogline' such that you have

Code: Select all

logmode hideprogline create u 10 show x

the program line is suppressed and you will get the error

X is not defined.
