Hi MarcoI like the idea of including the name of the script in error messages. I would make use of that. I'm not sure whether also including the line-number would be easy to implement but we'll have a look at these ideas.
Meanwhile a further tool is available for debugging. Starting with Ferret v6.9, redirect the output to a log file using SET REDIRECT. Then that log output includes lines that list entry and exit from scripts, and the Unix tool FshowGO makes a listing of the go-script calls. This is discussed here:
../../documentation/users-guide/commands-reference/SET.html#_VPINDEXENTRY_SET_REDIRECT ../../documentation/users-guide/introduction/UNIX-TOOLS#_FshowGOAnd one more thing: if your set of calls includes scripts that may turn off mode verify, but you want to see the commands they run, start the session with
SET MODE VERIFY:always which causes any CANCEL MODE VERIFY commands to be ignored. -Ansley On 1/28/2020 1:09 AM, Marco van Hulten wrote:

[ . . . ] This is especially useful in my case where I am using jnl scripts that call other jnl scripts and so on.I would certainly appreciate such a feature. But, with "set mode verify", you can usually track down where the error is.Yes, that's true enough. I now initialise a variable "verbosity" and then use this line at the start of my scripts: \if `verbosity lt 2` then cancel mode verify else set mode verify and cancel at the end of the script. That way VERIFY is disabled when back at the prompt. —Marco
