Hello all, a am just moving from masm to fasm. I am a total macro newbie and was just trying out the macro engine. Why does this return gibberish ?

Code:

macro printc imm
{
        mov ah,02h
        mov dl,imm
        int 21h
}
macro prints imm
{       
        mov dx,imm
        mov ah,09h
        int 21h
}
macro endprogram
{
        mov ax,4c00h
        int 21h
}

push cs
pop ds
printc 'a'
prints message
endprogram
message db "hallo$"

Looks like printc macro works fine.

Nothing to do with macros actually. If this is supposed to be a .COM file, you forgot the "org 100h"; if it's supposed to be an .EXE file you forgot "format MZ".
