FIX: H2INC Doesn't Recognize /BATCH Command-Line Switch (79157)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) 1.0
This article was previously published under Q79157

SYMPTOMS

It is documented that H2INC version 1.0, which shipped with Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0b, recognizes but ignores C 6.0 options that aren't specified as an H2INC option. However, the /BATCH switch produces the following error:
fatal error HI1800: '/BATCH' : unrecognized option
This is most prevalent while working in the Microsoft Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) where the /BATCH switch is added by default to the compiler switches that H2INC uses when it is called.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in H2INC version 1.0. This problem was corrected in H2INC for MS-DOS version 1.1 which is included with MASM for MS-DOS version 6.1.
