MUMPS Error List

This is the list of errors from the MUMPS Standard.

Any implementation of STANDARD MUMPS should have the M-Error as part of the value of the special intrinsic variable $ECODE .

M-Error	Official Explanation	English Explanation
M1	naked indicator undefined
M2	invalid combination with P fncodeatom
M3	$RANDOM seed less than 1
M4	no true condition in $SELECT
M5	lineref less than zero
M6	undefined lvn	some local variable is undefined
M7	undefined gvn	some global variable is undefined
M8	undefined svn
M9	divide by zero
M10	invalid pattern match range
M11	no parameters passed
M12	invalid lineref (negative offset)
