The information in this article applies to:

The development environment included with Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

The Visual C++ development environment will terminate a file load if there is a CTRL+Z (1aH) character in the file.

RESOLUTION

View the file in another editor, such as Microsoft Word, and remove the CTRL+Z characters. In Microsoft Word, CTRL+Z characters appear as a square box. When you save the file, be sure to save it in text format.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was fixed in Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.0.

MORE INFORMATION

CTRL+Z is not used as the end-of-file character in Windows NT. This use of CTRL+Z is obsolete and should be ignored.
