SUMMARY
=======
The code fragment in section 7.1.3 on Page 147 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler
Programmer's Guide" causes a warning A4031: "Operand types must match." There is
an error in the example.
Change the line below
mov ax, [bx].month
to the following:
" mov ah, [bx].month " (without the quotation marks)
MORE INFORMATION
================
Because the structure field month is defined as a byte, the assignment to a word
register generates the operand-mismatch warning message. The change to a byte
register resolves the warning. The following is also acceptable:
" mov ax, word ptr [bx].month " (without the quotation marks)
Additional query words: 5.00 5.10
