SYMPTOMS

When the .RADIX 16 directive is used, a real number initialization statement will cause MASM version 5.10 to generate the following error message:

file.asm(4): error A2107: Non-digit in number

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with MASM version 5.10. This problem was corrected in MASM version 5.10a.

The following sample code can be used to demonstrate the problem.

; Assemble options needed: none

.MODEL small
.RADIX 16
.data
sym dd 1.0
end
