Am trying to set up a proc but stumbling at first hurdle Sad

Code:
invoke  Get2Numbers, [edi], eax


proc Get2Numbers, myStart, myLength
;                .
;                .
;                .
;                .
        ret
endp
    


This generates an error: operand size not specified. during compilation. Have tried adding :DWORD to variables in proc and also dword [edi] in the invoke but still same error.

its not invoke, its stdcall since invoke is for Win32 api functions.
stdcall has the same syntax, just replace invoke with stdcall.

nope, try
Code:
_Get2Numbers rd 1
push dword Get2Numbers
pop dword [_Get2Numbers]
invoke _Get2Numbers,param,param    
Razz

'invoke function' does 'call [function]' while 'stdcall function' does 'call function'

okasvi: yes, i know that. but it's less efficient (and pointless.)
you could just do this:
Code:
_Get2Numbers dd 90909090h ;so that it can be executed Razz
mov [_Get2Numbers],Get2Numbers
invoke _Get2Numbers, blah, blah
