PREServe

Preserve aspects of the original source code when you compile, such as line numbers. The option facilitates debugging.

Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.

Syntax:

/[NO]PREServe,[(ALL|CoMmeNTs|LINEnumbers|LinePrefix|LineSuffix)]

ALL	Preserve all comments, line numbers, source line prefixes and suffixes.
CoMmeNTs	Preserve comment lines (lines beginning with %*). By default, the MFG discards these lines; comment lines do not appear in unparsed source. This suboption permits a compiled form to be unparsed back into the source form with comment lines preserved.
LINEnumbers	Preserve all line numbers. If preserved, source line numbers can speed the process of editing a rule source using and editor that can position at a specified line. Line numbers may appear in error messages to help identify lines in error.
LinePrefix	Preserve the source line prefix, that is, those columns before the left margin. For example, in COBOL, the source line prefix is the sequence number in columns 1-6.
LineSuffix	Preserve the source line suffix, that is, those columns after the right margin. For example, in COBOL, the source line suffix is the identification numbers in columns 73-80. Use this suboption to identify the exact line that appears in an error message.

Using this option increases the size of the compiled source.
