SUMMARY
=======
In the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) version 6.0, predefined symbols for the
date and time of assembly were introduced. They are:
@Date
@Time
These symbols can be used to construct strings that contain the date and time.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The following sample code demonstrates two methods of embedding the information
in a string in the object. Date1 and Time1 are constructed using one method,
Date2 and Time2 using the other. Assemble with /Fl to get a listing that shows
the expansion.
Sample Code
-----------
/* Assemble options needed: none
*/
.MODEL small
.STACK

tmp equ <>
tmp CatStr <">, @Date, <">
Date1 byte tmp
tmp equ <>
tmp CatStr <">, @Time, <">
Time1 byte tmp
%Date2 byte "&@Date"
%Time2 byte "&@Time"
.CODE
