.data inside proc

This is a little strange.    It showed up when I picked up an old program to work on.

When I declare the variable dvde outside the proc, there are no errors.
When I declare the variable inside the proc, I get Error A2210: Syntax error: dvde

This obviously has something to do with RECORD but no clues beyond that.

It also happens in version 2.46, I didn't keep any older versions to test.


.686
.model Flat, Stdcall
option Casemap :None

.data
tsx RECORD Dv:16,De:16
.code
tst proc
.data
dvde tsx <0,0>
.code
ret
tst endp

.code
Program:
ret
End Program

I found some old versions in an archive.   I tested back to version 2.41 and the problem still exists.    Tested old JWasm and the problem was gone.

Hi,

I've fixed this now for 2.48 it was due to us supporting expansion of records directly in instructions as operands.
It wasn't checking that the it wasn't a regular data definition while inside a code block.
