About This Manual
Section 6. Assembly-Time Controls
This section describes directives that control an assembly at assembly time. This
section includes the following topics:
Directives for handling conditionally assembled code
Generating repetitive code
Repeating statement groups
Transferring control
Source insertions
Procedures and functions (creating, accessing, using, and manipulating)
Microstrings
Levelers
Section 7. Dictionary Control
This section describes the functions and general structure of the dictionary and the
directives that control it.
Section 8. Processor Information Functions
This section describes the functions that retrieve the following:
Date and time information
The line counter value
The processor call parameters
The MASM operating mode settings
Section 9. MASM Output
This section describes relocatable binary output and use of the $INFO directive to
communicate between MASM and the Collector.
Section 10. Object Modules
This section describes object module output, the functional replacement for both
relocatable and absolute elements. This section contains Unisys restrictions on the
support of object modules.
Section 11. Symbolic Output
This section describes how to create a symbolic element from MASM source output for
use as input to other processors.
Section 12. Saving Definitions
This section describes how to save the results of processing a set of definitions in an
omnibus element for subsequent use in other assemblies.
