/sys$common/syshlp/TPUHELP.HLB  —  ERROR_LINE
  ERROR_LINE

  Returns the line number for the latest error encountered by DECTPU.  The
  value returned by ERROR_LINE is only meaningful inside an error handler.
  The value outside of an error handler is indeterminate.

  If a procedure was compiled as part of the compilation of a buffer or
  range, ERROR_LINE determines the line number by counting from the
  beginning of the buffer or range.  Therefore, the line number may not be
  the same as the line number counting from the beginning of the procedure.
  If the procedure was compiled from a string, ERROR_LINE returns the
  value 1.

  Syntax

     integer := ERROR_LINE

  Parameters

     none

  Example

  The following code fragment is an error handler that uses ERROR_LINE to
  report where the error occurred:

     ON_ERROR
       MESSAGE (ERROR_TEXT);
       MESSAGE ("Error on line " + STR (ERROR_LINE));
       RETURN;
     ENDON_ERROR;
