8.1.6 Line reference lineref

The Do , Goto, and Job commands, extrinsic functions and extrinsic variables, as well as the $Text function, contain in their arguments means for referring to particular lines within any routine. This subclause describes the means for making line references.

A reference to a line is either an entryref or a labelref. An entryref allows the specification of integer offsets from a label (eg, LOOP+5 references the fifth line after the line that has LOOP for a label). Also, an entryref allows indirection of both the label and the routinename. A labelref, on the other hand, allows neither label offsets nor indirection.
