SYMPTOMS
When a macro contains a comment, the listing file may be incorrectly formatted. As a result, the comment is printed at the margin rather than being correctly indented. The example given below illustrates this problem.



CAUSE
The Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) is failing to add the linefeed character (0Ah) after the carriage return (0Dh).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MASM versions 6.x. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
The code sample below generates the following listing (partial):                                mymacro MACRO aparm ENDM END
 * a test macro

Sample Code
; Assemble options needed: /c /Fl mymacro MACRO aparm ENDM END
 * a test macro
