ERROR while assembling improved TESTBED

[frktons]

Hi all.

I'm trying to insert a proc, inside the testbed, to format number of elapsed
cycles with thousand separator for readability purpose.

In a preliminary test to see if the new instructions assemble correctly I get
an:

Code Select Expand

Assembly Error


and the line 232 is where the ENDM alone stays.

Not being an Assembly Wizard, it could take me days to figure what is wrong.

Could anybody check the attached source and tell me where the error is?

Thanks

Look at line 68, or generate a listing file with -Fl

Look at line 68, or generate a listing file with -Fl

The line 68 says:

Code Select Expand


      mov Number, sstr$(eax)


and according to the macro help, usage of sstr$ is:

Code Select Expand


     mov lpResult, sstr$(Integer)


So can't I use a register for Integer? Have I to mov it to an Integer variable?

WOOOOPSSSS !!!!
It returns a pointer, not a string.  :red
