Could anyone take a look at this short macro. For some reason Error equals 1 at the end of the macro and I'm not understanding why. This macro is part of a larger problem I'm having but I've narrowed it down to this small problem.

Code:

macro Tester
{
  ;Replace all instances of Error with 0
  Error equ 0
  ;0 should never equal 1
  if 0 = 1
  ;I also tried using 0 eq 1 with the same results
  ;if 0 eq 1
    ;This line shouldn't be assebled
    Error equ 1
  end if
  ;Right here if I used Error it is replaced with 1
}

Tester

Read the answer to fourth question in the FAQ and the section 2.3.7 of the manual.

Or in short: do not use equ here, use =.
