Code:

A)
;both without "if used name"

proc proc
nop
endp

B)
proc : jmp proc

"A" does compile, but "B" does not compile.

I understand why "B" does not compile, that seems obvious ...
but about "A", if "B" does not compile, why "A" does compile ?

That's not so obvious - if you put B into a source without including "proc" macro, it compiles without a problem.

Code:

C)
;does not compile

include 'win32a.inc'
proc : jmp proc

D)
;does compile

;include 'win32a.inc'
proc : jmp proc

ok Tomasz, I understood why "B" does not compile, and "A" does compile. (both with 'win32a.inc')
The compiler when alone allows the label "proc",
the problem arises when one add the "macro proc".
ok, it makes sense, i understand now. Thank you.

And you can still bypass that problem then:

Code:

include 'win32a.inc'
label proc
jmp proc

Indeed, your example above compiles without problem. perfect, thank you Tomasz.
(I'll also have to manage the directive "label" in next "wink" <-- Smile
