 Last reviewed: November 3, 1994
Article ID: Q73753
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Macro Assembler for MS-DOS, version 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0b
  • Microsoft Macro Assembler for OS/2, version 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0b

On page 610 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler Programmer's Guide" version 6.0 manual, there is an example of a listing file accompanied by instructions on how to read such a file. In the header of the sample listing, the date is printed in the following format: 

   MMM DD hh:mm:ss yyyy
This format was from a beta version of Macro Assembler (MASM) 6.0 that was used when the documentation was written and is not consistent with the output in the released version. In the released version, the date prints in the following format: 

   MM/DD/YY hh:mm:ss

Additional reference words: 6.00 6.00a 6.00b
