Wow, you waited 2 whole hours... nothing like being patient ::)

You want a "printf"-like function (or even a 16-bit printf function!) A macro can't really do this itself, at best it could call the 'right' function to print the number in the given format - you still need the code for those functions.

P.S. Posting in all bold doesn't actually add emphasis to what you're saying :P

       i need a macro for masm 5.0 which has the abilities of " print " of BASIC .

The major problem here is the MASM 5.0. Very few people are actively using it and it lacks many of the macro capabilities that were added starting with version 6.0. Except for the floating-point support a print macro for version 6.xx would be no problem.

And if you need the ability to print floating-point values, perhaps you should forget the macro idea and try linking with a 16-bit C library and using the printf function.

MichaelW  Thank you so much
my work should doned by " MASM 5.0 Or older " , No C No high level languages
but if it possible with masm 6 its ok
can you help me with that

[MichaelW]

In memmap.zip, available here, the file support.asm contains a collection of MASM 6+ macros, equates, and data and procedure definitions aimed at supporting real-mode DOS programs, including a print macro. While the print macro could probably be adapted to work with MASM 5.0, most of the other macros could not because they are macro functions, and macro functions were not added until MASM 6.0.

MichaelW thank you
i will try it , but i havnt MASM 6.0 and its linker

masm 6 doesn't exist - it's ml 6
and guess what - ml 6 is in the masm32 package available from...this website.

even masm 21.2 doesn't support a print macro.

[MichaelW]

The EXE is ML, but it's referred to as MASM 6.0 in the Microsoft documentation.
