The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) 5.1

This article was previously published under Q35881 SUMMARY
The NAME directive was available in MASM version 4.0. The directive,
NAME modulename, sets the name of the current module to modulename. A
module name is used by the linker when displaying error messages.
In MASM versions 5.0, 5.1, 5.1a, 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0b the old
directive does not generate an assembler error so that the assembler
provides downward compatibility with MASM version 4.0 source files.
The directive does not generate any extra information for MASM
versions 5.0, 5.1, 5.1a, 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0b.
