Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Syntax: .[filename:]linenumber
             [filename!].linenumber
 
     Line numbers are useful for source-level debugging. They
     correspond to the lines in source-code files. In Source mode,
     a program is displayed with each line numbered sequentially.
     CodeView allows you to use these numbers to access parts of a
     program.
     See: ◄Source Display Mode (S) Command-Window Command►
          ◄Options Menu: Source-Window Command►
 
     The address corresponding to a source-line number can be
     specified as
 
          .linenumber
 
     CodeView assumes that the source line is in the current source
     file. To specify a source line in a different file, use the form
 
          .filename:linenumber
 
     for the View (V) command, or the form
 
          filename!.linenumber
 
     for the Set Breakpoint (or Watch:Set Breakpoint), Go, and
     Unassemble commands.
     See: ◄Set Breakpoint (BP) Command-Window Command►
          ◄Watch Menu/Set Breakpoint Command►
          ◄Go (G) Command-Window Command►
          ◄Unassemble (U) Command-Window Command►
 
     CodeView displays an error message if
 
        ■ <filename> does not exist
       OR
        ■ No source line exists for <linenumber>
