Study the following for instructions:

Agner Fog's                     Instruction tables            instruction_tables.pdf
Roman Novgorodov's              Intel x86 Instructions        x86eas.hlp
Many sources bundled in MASM32  Intel Opcodes And Mnemonics   opcodes.hlp


If you need to see the source and understand the internal workings of an x86 assembler
that is somewhat similar to MASM (with the appropriate include files non macroed MASM source can
be assembled with minor modifications) there is FASM found at flatassembler.net .

Thank you all for ur reply ,,

can any one plzz help me to undarstand how the pass1 and pass2 work ?

Google is your friend.

With the search terms  MASM passes  the very first link
is a MS explanation about the newer revisions of MASM (6.0+)
are N-PASS and the earlier 5.1 was a 2-PASS assembler.

Another item is the BNF grammar for MASM 6.1
