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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Probably QuickC cannot set the breakpoint because the
file was compiled without CodeView information. Ensure
that CodeView Info is enabled in two places:
 
  1. Under Debug Flags in the Compiler Flags dialog box
 
  2. Under Debug Flags in the Linker Flags dialog box
 
You gain access to these dialog boxes with the <Compiler
Flags> and <Linker Flags> selections from the Options:Make
command.
 
 
                                          (PgDn for more)
 
If CodeView Info is enabled, you may have specified the
breakpoint in an incorrect format. Use the format
 
     \.file.c: line
 
replacing file with the source file name and source line
with a decimal line number.
 
The error can also occur if the requested file or line
does not exist.
