Summary:
The LOCAL directive used inside a procedure requires a language
specifier on the .MODEL directive in the Microsoft Macro Assembler
(MASM) versions 5.1 and 5.1a, and in the Microsoft QuickAssembler
versions 2.01 and 2.51. If a language is not specified on the PROC
line, the warning
A4001: Extra characters on line
will be generated by MASM 5.1 and 5.1a. The error
A2135: feature requires language specifier on .MODEL
will be generated by QuickAssembler 2.01 and 2.51.
More Information:
To correct the code, specify a language on the .MODEL statement. To
correct the following program, replace the statement ".MODEL small"
with ".MODEL small, language" where language is either FORTRAN,
PASCAL, Basic, or C.
MASM 6.0 does not require a language specifier on the .MODEL
statement to use the LOCAL directive.
