DOCERR: Error in Macro Example in MASM 5.1 Update Manual (49245)

SUMMARY

The macro example on Page Update-23 in the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.1: Updates and Microsoft Editor" has an error in it. The macro in the example is called RestRegs.

The current example reads as follows:

      RestRegs    MACRO
         numloc   instr  regpushed,"#"
            .
            .
            .
                  ENDM
				

The second line should read as follows:

         numloc  instr  regpushed,<#>
				

However, even with this correction made to the example this macro will not work correctly on MASM version 5.1. This example does not work correctly on MASM version 5.1 due to a problem with the SUBSTR directive when assigning a string a substring of itself.
