Command Line Option /Z Is Ignored after Processing

Summary:

The /Z command line option tells the assembler to print out any

offending lines and any error messages it generates. The switch will

work up to the first include statement. When an include file is

processed a flag is cleared by mistake.

The workaround for this problem is to bracket the include directive

by the .XLIST or .LIST directive. Do not include a .LIST directive in

the include file. This process will guarantee that the flag is set

after the include file is processed.

More Information:

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Macro

Assembler (MASM) version 5.1. This problem was corrected in MASM

version 5.1a.
