ML Error Messages
The error messages generated by MASM components fall into three categories:
Fatal errors. These indicate a severe problem that prevents the utility from completing its normal process.
Nonfatal errors. The utility may complete its process. If it does, its result is not likely to be the one you want.
Warnings. These messages indicate conditions that may prevent you from getting the results you want.
All error messages take the following form:
Utility: Filename (Line) : [Error_type} (Code): Message_text
where:
Utility
The program that sent the error message.Filename
The file that contains the error-generating condition.Line
The approximate line where the error condition exists.Error_type
Fatal Error, Error, or Warning.Code
The unique 5- or 6-digit error code.Message_text
A short and general description of the error condition.
