Hi,
I'm playing more and more with mentioned operators. It seems that there are some situations when they do not work correctly, but I can't specify it more yet.
While browsing this board, I found some info. The following is cut and paste from some macros that I found:
From BitRAKE's fpc macro, at the bottom:

From Four-F's $IsByte macro, at the bottom:
http://www.asmcommunity.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=14450
It seems I have similar problems. Is there any documentation about these bugs? It's pretty annoying to find the correct way of using them.
Heh, I just found some info at masmforum.com, by gfalen:

2- The opattr comand fails on 8 bit registers
The opattr bug has been fixed in v7.00.9466 which comes with the XP DDK. The conversion bug is still present.

...not as annoying as finding the bugs. :D
There was a thread in the heap on MASM bugs. I can't find it ATM. There is an error with multi-dimensional STRUCTs and only the first item in UNION can be initiatlized, and some other stuff...
...I'll see if I can find it.

:-D
Please, do you more about the "dummy EQU $ MASM error fix" while using OPATTR? That seems to be important to me...

I very appreciate your help, bitRAKE.
I think it'd be very useful having such "MASM-bugs-list thread" in FAQ, wouldn't it?
The "dummy EQU $" is only useful for segment switches within a macro, iirc. Maelstrom, was the source of the refined solution. Please, read the following thread for a greater understanding of it's use:

I've have put some effort into looking for the other thread and I can't find it.

Thanks for the thread, it's clear now. Now I know more so I can proceed with coding. :)
