Q30383: SUBSTR Directive Will Not Work if Target Is the Same as Source

The SUBSTR assignment to A in the following program should not be
different than the SUBSTR assignment to B:

    .MODEL SMALL
    .CODE
A   equ    <abcdef>
B   substr A,4
A   substr A,4
    END

   In this program, the assignment to B is "abcdef". The assignment to
A is "def".
   Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information
as it becomes available.
