Summary:
The PROC directive used with arguments requires a language specifier
in the .MODEL directive in the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM)
versions 5.1, 5.1a, and 6.0, and also in the Microsoft QuickAssembler
versions 2.01 and 2.51. The language specifier is required because it
determines which parameter passing convention will be used with the
PROC arguments. If you do not specify a language on the PROC line, the
error
A2022: Operand must be type specifier
will be generated by MASM 5.1 and 5.1a, and by QuickAssembler 2.01 and
2.51. The error
A2119: language type must be specified
will be generated by MASM 6.0.
More Information:
To correct the code, specify a language in 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.
