NetCOBOL V11.0 Debugging Guide

5.1.1 Statement Number

A statement number described in the subsequent explanation indicates the following expression:

line-number[. verb-sequence-number-in-line-number]

Refer to "SOURCE(Whether a source program listing should be output)" in the "NetCOBOL User's Guide".

line-number

When compiler option NUMBER is selected, the format is "[COPY-qualification-value-]user-line-number" and when NONUMBER is selected, the format is "[COPY-qualification-value-]sequence-number-in-file."

The sequence number in the file is the value assigned in ascending order by the compiler, starting from "1" as the first line in the file and incrementing by 1 for each line.

verb-sequence-number-in-line-number

These are sequence numbers used to make each statement unique when multiple statements are entered at the same line number. Numbers are allocated in ascending order starting from 1 for the first statement and, 2, 3 ... subsequently.
