The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Macro Assembler for MS-DOS, versions 5.1 and 5.1a
  • Microsoft Macro Assembler for OS/2, versions 5.1 and 5.1a

SYMPTOMS

If the current date consists of four digits (e.g. 1/2/88), Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) versions 5.10 and 5.10a will produce an assembly-listing file with extra blank lines in the page headings.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MASM versions 5.1 and 5.1a. This problem was corrected in MASM version 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

The following assembly-listing files were generated from the same source code. The only difference is the date on which they were created. Note the extra blank line between the data and the page number on the first listing.
