invoke problem (newbie question)

[swamplord]

Here is my code

Code Select Expand

TITLE EXP2


.model small,stdcall
.stack 200h
.386   


.CODE
main PROC

INVOKE Procedure

.EXIT
main ENDP

Procedure PROC
ret
Procedure ENDP

END Main

i get an error like this on the "INVOKE" line when i try to build it:

Code Select Expand

error A2006:       : Procedure
If i change "INVOKE" with "CALL", it builds succesfully.
I am using "make16.bat" in Masm615 to build the code.
What am I doing wrong?

You should specify a prototype declaring your function before calling your procedure :

Code Select Expand

Procedure PROTO

If your function takes one parameter :

Code Select Expand

Procedure PROTO :DWORD

For two parameters :

Code Select Expand

Procedure PROTO :DWORD,:DWORD
etc.

If the PROC block comes before the call to the function then you don't need to write prototypes.

You are welcome. Don't forget, it's the 16-bit DOS linker used for DOS programming :
