The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Macro Assembler for MS-DOS, versions 5.0, 5.1, and 5.1a
  • Microsoft Macro Assembler for OS/2, versions 5.1 and 5.1a

Page 89 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.0: Programmer's Guide" and page 89 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.1: Programmer's Guide" incorrectly state that:

With .MODEL small or .MODEL compact, the name for code segments is not ignored, but does produce the following error: 

   A2063: Operand Combination Illegal
