A method for diagnosing a user program for controlling movement and positioning tasks of drives operated to execute a movement path of an apparatus, wherein the apparatus and movement path are depicted as a three-dimensional view in a first output element, to depict the movement path, a graphic element formed as a polygonal chain is generated for movement sections, which is operated in a force sensitive manner so that a user can select a location on the polygonal chain with a pointer device and obtain a display of an output field with a line of code that has the program instruction that is responsible through the execution for reaching the location within the movement section of the apparatus or position vector, and a recording method was performed in which the current position vector and the associated line of code or a code line index are recorded at sampling time points.
