SYMPTOMS
Executing the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) version 5.1 with a parameter list greater than 129 characters generates a protection violation under OS/2.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem you can shorten the command line by using the MASM environment variable to declare options. That is, use MASM=/Mx /Zi etc.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MASM version 5.1. This problem was corrected in version 5.1a.



MORE INFORMATION
The following example illustrates the problem:   MASM /Mx /Zi .\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\ .\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\   .\.\.\.\.\t.asm;
