7.6.2. INFO

The INFO directive supports diagnostic generation on either pass of the assembly.

! is very similar to INFO, but has less detailed reporting.

Syntax

INFO numeric-expression, string-expression

where:

numeric-expression

is a numeric expression that is evaluated during assembly. If the expression evaluates to zero:

  • no action is taken during pass one

  • string-expression is printed during pass two.

If the expression does not evaluate to zero, string-expression is printed as an error message and the assembly fails.

string-expression

is an expression that evaluates to a string.

Usage

INFO provides a flexible means of creating custom error messages. See Numeric expressions and String expressions for additional information on numeric and string expressions.

See also ASSERT.

Examples

        INFO    0, "Version 1.0"

        IF endofdata <= label1
            INFO    4, "Data overrun at label1"
        ENDIF
