Technique: Test environment

Walter Pachl from Vienna sent me the proof of errors in one my subprogram. Its code is ingeniously simple test environment.


signal on HALT
signal on NOVALUE
signal on SYNTAX
...
code of debugging program
...
NOVALUE:
  say 'Novalue raised in line' Sigl
  say SOURCELINE(Sigl)
  say 'Variable' CONDITION('D')
  signal LOOKAROUND
 
SYNTAX:
  say 'Syntax raised in line' Sigl
  say SOURCELINE(Sigl)
  say 'rc='rc '('ERRORTEXT(rc)')'
 
HALT:
LOOKAROUND:
  do
    say 'You can look around now.'
