Assembler error

Maks Shak

When I try compile assembler source with directives .sect I get assembler error: [E0002] Invalid mnemonic specification. For example, this simple code compiled ok:

 .text
 ADD #0001h, A

When i add that:

 .text
 ADD #0001h, A

 .sect "mysect"

 ADD #0002h, A

I get error with directives .sect: [E0002] Invalid mnemonic specification.
What is wrong?

Make sure the .sect directive does not start in the first column of the source file. If you add a space or a tab, it should not give the error.

In TI assemblers, the first column is reserved for labels. If you do not use a label, the character in the first column must be a blank, asterisk or semicolon. This is documented in the section "Label field" in the Assembly Language Tools Users Guides.
