Q61790: A1022 Error If Include Environment Variable Is Not Set

Article: Q61790
Product(s): See article
Version(s): 2.51
Operating System(s): MS-DOS
Keyword(s): ENDUSER | buglist2.51 | mspl13_masm

In QuickC with QuickAssembler version 2.51, when using QCL.EXE to
compile assembly language programs, if the INCLUDE environment
variable is not set, the following error is generated:

   command line fatal error A1022: source file name not specified

This problem does not occur in the QuickC with QuickAssembler
environment (QC.EXE) or with QuickC with QuickAssembler version 2.01.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with QuickAssembler
version 2.51. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.

The following DOS commands reproduce the "A1022: source file name not
specified" error:

   SET INCLUDE=
   QCL test.asm

To compile programs successfully, set the INCLUDE environment variable
to the QuickC with QuickAssembler INCLUDE directory; for example, SET
INCLUDE=D:\QCQA\INCLUDE.
