MASM does not generate an object-module record that allows a break
point to be set at a procedure label under CodeView. The following
code demonstrates this problem:

    .model compact
    .code
    routine proc
    mov ax,ax
    routine endp
    end

   The source code was assembled and linked as follows:

masm /ZI file.asm;
link /CO file;
cv file

   In CodeView, entering "bp routine" gives the "Unknown symbol" error
message.
   Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 5.10. We
are researching this problem and will post new information as it
becomes available.
