SORRY. I figured it out. I feel like such an idiot. I forgot to add the .code directive to the top of my include file !!!
This is such a simple problem. I've written a simple procedure to create a directory,...something I've done many times before in MASM programs. And, I'm getting a couple of errors, repeatedly, that I just don't understand. What amazes me is that my short procedure is very similar to code that I'm using elsewhere in the same program (and, which works without a problem).
...Anyway,...here's the procedure:
CrtServerDirctry PROC
invoke GetCurrentDirectory, 256, ADDR PathCurDir ; Memory location for the Current Directory.
.IF eax==0
RET
.ENDIF
; If lstrcpy fails, the return value is NULL
invoke lstrcpy, ADDR ServerDirectry, ADDR PathCurDir
.IF eax==0
RET
.ENDIF
invoke lstrcat, ADDR ServerDirectry, ADDR szServerDirctry
.IF eax==0
RET
.ENDIF
mov eax, 0
mov eax, OFFSET ServerDirectry
mov lpServrDir, eax
; If CreateDirectory fails, the return value is zero. If the directory already
; exists, CreateDirectory fails, but, calling GetLastError returns 183.
invoke CreateDirectory, lpServrDir, NULL
.IF eax==0
invoke GetLastError
CMP eax, 183
RET
.ENDIF
RET
CrtServerDirctry ENDP
The errors I'm getting (repeatedly) are:
error A2108: use of register assumed to ERROR.
error A2107: cannot have implicit far jump or call to near label.
The errors indicate that for some reason you are in the .data or .data? section, not in .code
error 183 is "directory exists".
JOCHEN,
Yeah,...you're right,...I realized what it was just after I posted.
THANKS ANYWAY.
