My Home Equity Line of Credit has appeared on my credit report as Discharged in Bankruptcy Ch 7. If the lender never filed a lien can a HELOC be discharged in Bankruptcy Court?

First, bluntly - your talking crazy - or maybe just ignorantly - which may be one of the reasons you went bankrupt. ALL HELOCS have a lien on the property, by definition. Period. End of story there.
ALL YOUR DEBTS AND ALL YOUR ASSETS WERE SUBJECT TO THE ACTIONS OF THE BK COURT. Discharge (which as it is the best thing that can happen, I don't know why you would question - if it wasn't discharged, then you still owe it). Period end of of story.
GET PERSONAL, INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL AND LEGAL HELP...YOU'VE BEEN LUCKY BY WHAT YOU'VE SAID HERE...ONLY GOING BK (agreeably saying by doing so your a financial failure) AND HAVING THINGS FALL YOUR WAY, (dicharges of debts) INSPITE ANYWAY.
And of course...basically any loan/debt (except Fed ins student loans), WITH a lien (as well as those WITHOUT one - like credit cards), may be discharged...and any bankruptcy court action is of public record and should correctly be reported on your credit report. It will remain there for 10 years.

How do you know if your bankruptcy is discharged on your credit report?
Bankruptcy does not get discharged. Debts are discharged. The bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for 10 years from the date of filing. The debts that were discharged can remain for 7 years from the date of discharge, showing a zero balance and that they were discharged in bankruptcy.
