PIC24 Assembler listing file column setting problem

[Haim]

Using the latest PIC24 assembler PIC30-COFF-AS.EXE taken on November 19, 2010 from the Microchip website I discovered that the columns argument of the .psize directive is non functional.  The attached file demonstrate the problem as follows:

 

The batch file A.BAT activates the assembler to assemble the file TEST.S.  The file MACRO.S is included at the beginning for TEST.S to set up the listing file geometry.  MACRO.S contains the .psize directive with a setup for 132 columns.  The listing file is TEST.L, and it demonstrate that the number of columns is fixed at 124.  I verified that the column argument is ignored by the assembler.  The documentation specifies the column argument to be functional.

 

This message just FYI.  I suggest to fix this on the next release.
