Your uploaded code does not contain the posted code. Anyway, to minimize the code to show the bug (if it's really a bug) is this:
Code:
db 0x    
that's enough on FASMW 1.67.15

I not checked the documentation so that's the reason for that I don't know if it is a bug or not (but looks like a bug or at least has different behavior compared to the common way of handling hex values).

[edit]
documentation wrote:
hexadecimal numbers should begin with 0x characters (like in C language)
Well, since it's supposed to be like C language then this is a bug Razz (and a very old one, FASMW 1.64 has the same behavior)[/edit]

Well, it's not a bug Embarassed. I'm trying to upload an image to imageshack but my internet connection has serious routing problems and I can just reach few sites (like this). I'll upload it as soon as posible but in advance I can tell that things like "a = 0x+5" and "return 0x" is accepted by Turbo C 2.0

Before:
Code:
Traza a la dirección imageshack.us [38.99.76.137]
sobre un máximo de 30 saltos:

I don't want to make a new thread - I find another bug. When I'm using global variables (FASMINC defined into "My Computer") this code cause error:
Code:
format PE GUI 4.0
entry start
include '%FASMINC%\win32a.inc'
...
section '.code' code executable
start:
...
    

When line entry start is absent there, compilation success!
Next code fragment was compiled normally:
Code:
format PE GUI 4.0
include '%FASMINC%\win32a.inc'
...
section '.code' code executable
start:
...
.end start

I'm not able to reproduce this problem, can you post more complete information?

Did you include a "ret" or "ExitProcess, 0Confused

Excuse, but I think it not an error of the compiler. When I have added section of import - the program has earned:
Code:
format PE GUI 4.0
entry start
include '%FASMINC%\WIN32AXP.INC'
section '.code' code readable executable
start:
invoke ExitProcess,1
section '.idata' import readable
library kernel,'KERNEL32.DLL'
import kernel,ExitProcess,'ExitProcess'
    

But why the following code works without creation of section of import?
Code:
format PE GUI 4.0
include '%FASMINC%\WIN32AXP.INC'
section '.code' code readable executable
start:
invoke ExitProcess,1
.end start
    

And the last question: how I can disable generation by the compiler of a prologue and an epilogue of function? For example in MASM it is done so:
Code:
option prologue:none
option epilogue:none

Answer for the first question comes from Win32 headers documentation, section 2.2:
Quote:
The extended headers enable some macroinstructions that help with easy structuring the program. The .data and .code are just the shortcuts to the declarations of sections for data and for the code. The .end macroinstruction should be put at the end of program, with one parameter specifying the entry point of program, and it also automatically generates the import section using all the standard import tables.


For the second problem: you may even do it exactly as in MASM, if you include MACRO/MASM.INC file, which defines "option" macro.
