You may get the current line number only by raising a class-based exception (method GET_SOURCE_POSITION) or by getting the ABAP call stack (for instance, via function module SYSTEM_CALLSTACK).

Rather curious about this myself. What could possibly be the purpose of this information?

It can be useful when refactoring code which populates an internal table at many different locations within a huge procedure with many loops and  conditions and we look at that populated internal table and wonder where exactly the rows have been added without having to use the debugger much.
