SXKEY.exe complains if labels are not in column 1

rf98

Using my sxkey.exe··· (···Help-About says IDE version 3.10· )

I have this problem:· Programs I wrote·3 years ago now have an assembly error:

··· Error 45, Pass 1: Label must begin in column 1

I was able to have the ASM source, including the labels, indented in my previous SX52 and SX48 programs, so why do I now get this error?
The error goes away if I left justify the labels, ·but I have lots of programs with hundreds of lines each, and the indents are very useful for structuring the code.

This always worked before.·

Under Run>Configure I un-checked 'Local labels must start in column 1'.·

Is a Windows XP problem?· ( The programs were previously written and assembled in Windows 98 and Windows ME)
Or perhaps I grabbed an earlier IDE release that did not allow indented labels?

rf98,

Originally SASM forced you to have labels start in column 1. It was changed in version 1.50 back in 2003 to allow you to have them start in any column.

I assume you have re-installed the IDE since moving to a new OS. Somewhere along the way that configuration box got un-checked and it didn't become an issue until you tried assembling some older source code. It has nothing to do with XP.

Thanks,

Thanks,· I will do a re-install and during the install process I guess I will be able to make that selection.

rf98,

No need to re-install. The configuration option is a runtime option, so if it's working for you now then just use it. There's no harm in a re-install, just no need for one.

Thanks,
