Running and debugging ABL programs : Tasks : Using the Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge Debugger : Going to a specific source line
 
Going to a specific source line
You can use the line number of a debug listing file to go directly to a specific source line in the currently active file in the OpenEdge ABL Editor. A debug listing file is a temporary file generated by the Debugger during a debug session. It contains a list of line numbers of a procedure with all the preprocessor directives expanded and all the include files inserted. The debug listing file is removed once the debug session ends.
To go to a specific source line number using the debug listing line number:
Select Go to Source Line from the Navigate menu on the main menu bar and enter the debug listing line number of the corresponding file that is currently open in the editor. Alternatively, you can press ALT+L to enter the debug listing line number.
The source file opens in the editor with the cursor positioned at the corresponding source line number. If the source file is not located in the file system, an error occurs and you will be prompted to select the file from a different location.
Note: The file that is currently open in the editor must have the same name as the file present in the ABL stack trace and it must contain r-code. If the file does not contain r-code, it is automatically compiled and the generated r-code file is removed once the operation is complete.
