Why FASM report an error in this code:

Code:

format MZ
entry code_seg:start; set entry point
stack 256
segment data_seg
; add your data here!
per_1 db 2,3,4,6,8,2
per_3 dt 9875645
segment code_seg
start:
; set segment registers:
mov ax,data_seg
mov ds,ax
mov es,ax
; add your code here
mov ax,4c00h
int 21h

Here is a error message:

Code:

aram@linux-39o6:~/Documents> fasm PRG_8_2-DOS.asm
flat assembler  version 1.67.33  (16384 kilobytes memory)
PRG_8_2-DOS.asm [7]:
per_3 dt 9875645
error: invalid operand.

With per_3 dt 9,8,7, ... there is no error message.

Use a decimal point:

Try "per_3 dt 9,9,9,9,9,9" ...

Looks like a fasm bug to me.

dt 9,9 ; ---> 09 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 09 00

dt accepts the word and quad word value separated with colon, the quad word is stored first.

Looks like a comma separator also works.

Yup, it's a bug.
The only valid syntax for this should be dt 9:9

Look at that folks, less than half an hour after confirmation of the bug and it is fixed.

v1.67.34 is there.

haha, I see that an even number of arguments was required to trigger the bug then, I tested "per_3 dt 9,8,7".
