BUG: Source Code is Not Available for the Current Statement

• Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

Upon running an Active Server Pages (ASP) page with Step Into, a Stop/Debugger statement, or breakpoints under the debugger, the user gets the following error:

Source code is not available for the current statement

CAUSE

The behavior is caused by attempting to have the debugger break on a line that is non-procedural script within a script tag (instead of within a <% %>). The break can be caused by an error, a stop or debugger statement, or by a breakpoint on that line.

RESOLUTION

The resolution is to place the script within inline script tags.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
