SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) versions 5.0, 5.0a, 5.1, and 5.1a assembles the following invalid sample code without genering any error messages:

   myproc proc far
   code segment
   ret
   code ends
   myproc endp
   end

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MASM version 5.0, 5.0a, 5.1, 5.1a. This problem was corrected in MASM version 6.0.
