Except that there wasn’t anything in column 29. It didn't matter what I did to edit the line, I still got the error. The only solution was to delete the line and re-type it. That worked. Later on, someone figured out that I had edited the line and used the backspace key on column 29 and the Assembler was picking up the unprintable character. |
