DOCERR: Conditional Jump Instruction Is Incorrectly Documented (67757)

SUMMARY

Page 336 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.1 Programmer's Guide" shipped with MASM version 5.0 and 5.1 has a table that lists the various conditional jump instructions, what each means, and whether each acts on a signed or unsigned value. The table has the signed/unsigned values mixed up.

The table currently states:

   Letter  Meaning
   ------  -------

    J      Jump
    G      Greater than (for unsigned comparisons)
    L      Less than (for unsigned comparisons)
    A      Above (for signed comparisons)
    B      Below (for signed comparisons)
    E      Equal
    N      Not
				

It should read:

   Letter  Meaning
   ------  -------

    J      Jump
    G      Greater than (for signed comparisons)
    L      Less than (for signed comparisons)
    A      Above (for unsigned comparisons)
    B      Below (for unsigned comparisons)
    E      Equal
    N      Not
