I agree. But, it would still be useful that Stata can detect the exact
line where an error occurs in cases where one has a code in which no
other .do file is called.

Stata doesn't work in this way, partly because do-files can and
usually do call other do-files, ado-files, commands, functions, etc.,
and a row number -- presumably meaning file line number -- would not
have very much meaning in many instances, and/or would refer to a line
in code that is proprietary and so hidden from you.

-set trace- leads to ways of detecting where errors occur. Otherwise
the difference between -do- and -run- is important here.
