Simple question that I couldn't find an answer for.

Code:

[...]
stem SYSTEMTIME
[...]
invoke GetLocalTime,stem
[...]
macro tim tst
{
 [...]
 xor eax,eax
 mov ax,[tst.wDay]
 [...]
}

Quote:

Error: undefined symbol 'tst.wDay'.

If I use [stem] in the macro directly - it works.
How do I pass the structure as an argument to it?

Use the hash:

Code:

mov ax,[tst#.wDay]

Yes. That worked. #

Now why didn't I find that anywhere?
If you don't have a source where I can read about it (which I am sure you will, but) - how does it work?

Inside macroinstruction also special operator # can be used. This operator causes two names to be concatenated into one name. It can be useful, because it's done after the arguments and local names are replaced with their values.

It's offtopic, but it's too small of a question to start a new thread about.

Code:

[...]
lamb rb 128
[...]
;do something with lamb
mov dword[lamb],0
[...]

I want to "clear" [lamb], as I append strings to it.
Is this a correct way to do so?
If not - what is the correct way?

Again - sorry for the offtopic.

Do you want to clear (set to zero) the entire 128 bytes? Are you using null terminated strings?

Yes. Yes.

Since you are using null terminated strings then this will suffice:

Code:

mov [lamb],0

There is no need to clear the entire array, the first zero is enough.
