‘=’ Directive on External Label Causes Error A2052 ID Number: Q26655
1.27 3.00 3.01 4.00 5.00 MS-DOS
Problem: The MASM documentation indicates that the ‘=’ directive may be used with expressions that evaluate to an address. If the address refers to an external label, the error A2052 is issued.
Response: Using the ‘=’ directive with external labels is not allowed in MASM. The address of an external label is not known at assembly time and therefore cannot be used with the ‘=’ directive, which is evaluated at assembly time.
