☜	Error Code M14 M[UMPS] by Example					☞

M14, line level not 1

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

When a Do, Goto or Job command is executed, and the line that is specified is in the form LABEL+OFFSET^ROUTINE or LABEL+OFFSET, this error will occur if the line that is specified does not have a level of 1, i.e. the line starts with one or more period characters. Lines that have a level higher than 1 can only be invoked by an argumentless Do command.

The level of a line is equal to ‘number of dots at the start of the line’ plus 1.
