Problem:

MASM does not issue syntax errors if 16 and 20 digit numbers are

used with DD encoded reals. Similarly, no errors are issued if 8 and

20 digits are used with DQ, and 8 and 16 are used with DT. The number

of digits allowed for encoded numbers used with the DD, DQ, and DT

directives are 8, 16, and 20 respectively.

Response:

This problem was fixed in MASM Version 5.00A. Please call Product

Support and request an update to MASM Version 5.00A.
