The error for a -ve value in ret is redundant as all previous
assignments to ret have an associated -ve check and hence it
is impossible for ret to be less that zero at the point of the
check. Remove this redundant error check.

Yep. All branches for error path on the nested for loop have goto statement, thus no need to check error outer the loop.
