I would be happy if Stata could keep track of the name of the do-file
(or program) that was currently active. I have tried on several occasions
to write a wrapper that would do this for me via some global variable(s),
but it's not possible to manage the situation where a Stata ado-file calls
another ado-file.

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.

does anybody of you know if there is a way to get Stata give me the
the
exact row number where an error occurs in a do file? I'm surprised
that
Stata -- way too "smart" a program -- does not give it regularly,
included in error messages.
