CQDesigner: Improved code structure and execution

We would like the error reporting in Perl, VB, or any other language being used, to be more useful for determining the exact point in the code where it happens.

    Use cases:
    We are using both the classic and eclipse based clients. We would like to have the ability to debug code in the designer, e.g. using breakpoints. But also we would like to have the possibility to see where in the code the error happens (e.g. line numbers, wrong Syntax with proposed correct syntax, etc). We mainly use the language VBScript. The requested functionality is more for the Designer but would be also helpful for execution during runtime with a ClearQuest Client.

    Please elaborate on the specific use cases you would like to see?
    Which Designer are you using? (Classic or Eclipse based)?
    Are you specifically asking for ability to debug code in Designer with breakpoints?
    Having a debugger?
    Is this more for Designer or for execution during runtime within a ClearQuest client?
    What language is your schema design based off of? Perl? VBScript?
