Is there some reason I can't get sourceline( x) to work in a VX-Rexx
app?  I have the following in my VX-Rexx program to illustrate the
problem:

signal on novalue name ErrorNoValue
say sourceline( 1)

I get an error message box which says:

Line x of MyProcedure in MYPROG.VRM:
Say sourceline(1);

Anyone know why this is?  Thanks for any help.

The source line is not available if you have created an .EXE from your
VRX file. The way to overcome this for testing is to run your VX-REXX
project from the command line using VRX.EXE project. You must also be
sure to create a macro file (project.VRM).

You will then be able to run your project like any other "ugly-mode"
(i.e. command line) program.
