ID: Q59963

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft CodeView for MS-DOS, versions 3.0, 3.11, 3.14, 4.0, 4.01, 4.05, 4.1
Microsoft CodeView for OS/2, versions 3.0, 3.11, 3.12, 3.5

SYMPTOMS

An attempt to open a source code file in CodeView fails. CodeView version 4.0 sounds the system bell and refuses to load the source code file. CodeView versions 3.x displays the application in assembly language mode.

CAUSE

The first line of the source code file contains extended ASCII characters (ASCII codes 0-8, 11, 14-31, or 127-255).

RESOLUTION

To use extended characters in your source file, begin the file with a blank line.

MORE INFORMATION

Even though CodeView does not display an application's source code when the source contains extended ASCII characters, you can use CodeView to debug the application in assembly language mode.
