Name Directive No Longer Supported

ID Number: Q35881

5.00 5.10

MS-DOS

Summary:

The Name directive was available in MASM Version 4.00. The directive,

Name modulename, sets the name of the current module to modulename. A

module name is used by the linker when displaying error messages.

In MASM Versions 5.00 and 5.10, the old directive does not generate an

assembler error because Microsoft wants to have downward compatibility

with MASM Version 4.00 source files. The directive does not generate

any extra information for MASM Versions 5.00 and 5.10.
