SYMPTOMS
An attempt to compile a program containing a FORMAT specifier that is more than one line long and that has an in-line comment on a line other than the last, causes the following warning:
In-line comments start with an exclamation point. If the FORMAT statement is referenced during program execution, it will cause the program to terminate with exit code 1. The following run-time error might be generated:
RESOLUTION
This problem can be corrected by removing the embedded comment.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the 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.
Sample Code
