-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM), versions 1.25, 1.27, 3.0x, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The ASSUME directive in the macro definition below is not displayed in the list
file. The documentation states that all the directives can be developed.

The following is an example:

     BEGIN   MACRO   x
     x       SEGMENT PUBLIC
     ASSUME  CS:x,DS:x
             ENDM

     BEGIN   NewSeg
             IRET
     NewSeg  ENDS
             END

CAUSE
=====

By default, directives are not listed inside of macros. The only lines listed
from macro expansions are ones that generate code or data.

RESOLUTION
==========

You should use the .LISTMACROALL directive (.lall in all versions prior to 6.0)
if you want to see these lines.
