Interpreting a Screen Trace

Hello, while researching a MAV that our application was having, I used a screen trace while running the program in hope that it might point me in the right direction. I've since fixed the MAV, but was wondering how to reconcile the screen trace with the screen designed in acubench. For example one line that was output into the screen trace was "!!!modify control 1070, property 4097 failed". How do I identify control 1070 in my screen section?

Thanks

    The numbers correspond to the controls in your screen section. Take a look at a sample program like push-btn.cbl, a screen trace will show:

    C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Acucbl912\\AcuGT\\sample\\acubench\\object\\Push-Btn.acu loaded

    screen section display

    create control type 3, handle = 776

    create control type 1, handle = 777

    create control type 3, handle = 778

    create control type 1, handle = 779

    create control type 1, handle = 780

    create control type 1, handle = 781

    create control type 9, handle = 782

    create control type 3, handle = 783

    In the screen section there are 8 controls:

    01 Screen-1.
