Does it really matter? DBP
usually highlights the line with the error; and for when it sometimes doesn't, it joins all the .dba's together and then outputs that as filename.dbsource; It's a simple job to open this and just jump to the line number it's reported the error on to find out where the error is.
And for the record, I tend to organise all my projects like this...

function exampleFunction(writing$ as string)
local result as integer : result=0
print writing$
endfunction result
Just my opinion tho, I have no formal training or anything; this is just what works for me
