The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM), versions 5.1, 5.10a, 6.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
=======
The PROC directive used with arguments requires a language specifier in the
.MODEL directive in the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) versions 5.1, 5.1a, and
6.0, and also in the Microsoft QuickAssembler versions 2.01 and 2.51. The
language specifier is required because it determines which parameter passing
convention will be used with the PROC arguments. If you do not specify a
language on the PROC line, the error
A2022: Operand must be type specifier
will be generated by MASM 5.1 and 5.1a, and by QuickAssembler 2.01 and 2.51. The
error
A2119: language type must be specified
will be generated by MASM 6.0.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To correct the code, specify a language in the .MODEL statement. To correct the
following program, replace the statement ".MODEL small" with ".MODEL small,
language" where language is either FORTRAN, PASCAL, Basic, or C.
