☜	Error Code M2 M[UMPS] by Example					☞

M2, Invalid combination with P fncodatom

Introduced in the 1995 ANSI M[UMPS] language standard.

An fncodatom is one of the special formatting parameters of the function $FNumber. Currently, the valid codes that may be specified as such are + (plus, force plus sign), , (comma, insert delimiters every three digits), - (minus, suppress minus sign), p or P (represent negative numbers in parentheses) and t or T (trailing sign). Any incompatible combination of these codes or any other character specified in the second parameter of the function $FNumber will cause this error to occur.

Write $FNumber(AMOUNT,"+Q")
Write $FNumber(AMOUNT,"-t",3)
Write $FNumber(AMOUNT,"Z",2)
