FIX: Command Line Option /Z Is Ignored after Processing

ID: Q30382


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Macro Assembler for MS-DOS, version 5.1


SYMPTOMS

The /Z command line option tells the assembler to print out any offending lines and any error messages it generates. The switch will work up to the first include statement. When an include file is processed a flag is cleared by mistake.


RESOLUTION

The workaround for this problem is to bracket the include directive by the .XLIST or .LIST directive. Do not include a .LIST directive in the include file. This process will guarantee that the flag is set after the include file is processed.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) version 5.1. This problem was corrected in MASM version 5.1a.
