Summary:
To use calculation operators on constant values larger than 17 bits,
".386" has to be enabled. Otherwise, the assembler may generate error
"A2029 : Division by 0 or overflow."
Please refer to Page 174 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler
Programmer's Guide" in the section "Using Operators" for more specific
information. The program below demonstrates this information.
More information:
When 80386 is enabled by using .386, the program will be assembled
without any error message. Then the program has to run on a 80386
machine.
The following is the sample program:
; sample program
.186
.model small
.data
dd 989680h/4h ; the constant value is more than 17 bits.
.code
end
