The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM), version 5.1

SUMMARY
=======
The macro example on Page Update-23 in the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.1:
Updates and Microsoft Editor" has an error in it. The macro in the example is
called RestRegs.
The current example reads as follows:
RestRegs MACRO
numloc instr regpushed,"#"
.
.
.
ENDM
The second line should read as follows:
numloc instr regpushed,<#>
However, even with this correction made to the example this macro will not work
correctly on MASM version 5.1. This example does not work correctly on MASM
version 5.1 due to a problem with the SUBSTR directive when assigning a string a
substring of itself.
Additional query words: 5.10
