Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Error: A2138
     structure too large to instantiate
 
     The assembler could not output a correct object record for a
     structure type you defined, because of the complexity of the
     structure and limitations on object-record size. You may be able
     to assemble the module by either reducing the number of fields in
     the structure, or by removing nested DUP statements. For example,
     the statement
 
       field2     DB     100 DUP (?)
 
     takes less object-record space than the statement
 
       field1     DB     10 DUP (10 DUP (?))
