SYMPTOMS
Using the err= and end= options together in a READ statement and performing a formatted READ using an integer expression in a FORMAT statement causes the following compile-time ASSERT failure message to be generated:

Assertion failed: 0, file err_genex.c, line 6143



RESOLUTION
Use literal constants instead of integer expressions with edit descriptors in FORMAT statements.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
