☜	Error Code M12 M[UMPS] by Example					☞

M12, Invalid lineref (negative offset)

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, this error will occur if the OFFSET has a negative value.

A reference to the function $Text with a negative OFFSET will cause an error with code M5.
