General - Sometimes the code lines mentioned in error messages are misaligned

[BaerbelW]

I've had this issue regularly but here is an example related to the issue I reported with the Anagram exercise. The error message indicated lines 59 and 97 respectively which didn't really make much sense but it made troubleshooting more difficult:

We received the following error when we ran your code:

./zcl_anagram.clas.abap[59, 9] - Incompatible types (check_syntax) [E]
./zcl_anagram.clas.abap[97, 13] - Incompatible types (check_syntax) [E]
abaplint: 2 issue(s) found

The actual error happened a few lines (7 and 10 respectively) above the indicated ones. Not sure, what's throwing it off, empty lines perhaps?

yea, its a problem, due to the downporting, hmm

thinking, if the downport is correct, then the line numbers should also be correct, as errors are then reported in the original code
