SUMMARY
The code fragment in section 7.1.3 on Page 147 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler Programmer's Guide" causes a warning A4031: "Operand types must match." There is an error in the example.
Change the line below
mov ax, [bx].month
to the following:
mov ah, [bx].month
MORE INFORMATION
Because the structure field month is defined as a byte, the assignment to a word register generates the operand-mismatch warning message. The change to a byte register resolves the warning. The following is also acceptable:
mov ax, word ptr [bx].month
