I''m trying to create a new file in asm, but the error sub keeps getting tripped. I can''t figure out why. I''m sure its something really dumb. Any help is appreciated.

NO! Those source tags didn''t work! I put in:

"" without the "s of course

blah blah

" and it didn''t do it!

HEY! It took the source statements out of the post! Even though they were in ""s.

Okay, this is what I did:

(source) except I used <> brackets

blah blah blah

(/source)

ooops! I guess I get the dummy award today!

I would reccomend editing your first post to make your code much more readable... heh.

First, Mauling Monkey: I know where the error is occuring. It happens on the create statement. I just disabled the other error calls and narrowed it down.

Second, heres the code in a more readable format:

By the way: this is for TASM 3.1





Please help! Again, I''m sure its somehting stupid, but I can''t find it.

Hmm, really? I always though that int did something, depending on the call that could change the carry flag. According to a tutorial I have with open/close/create file stuff in it, that should work. If the carry is set, then AX tells the file error. But it could be wrong. But I know something is amiss, because later in the program I try to write to the file, but it always has a size of 0 bytes, no matter what I do.
