Problem:
The MASM documentation indicates that the '=' directive may be used
with expressions that evaluate to an address. If the address refers to
an external label, the error A2052 is issued.
Response:
Using the '=' directive with external labels is not allowed in
MASM. The address of an external label is not known at assembly time
and therefore cannot be used with the '=' directive, which is
evaluated at assembly time.
