Newbie here using MASM 6.11.

Learning about BCD numbers and having problems with creating "good"

BCD numbers with either DT or TBYTE.

Example:

BCDNum DT 123456789 ; Getting 000000000000075BCD15

;instead of 89 67 45 23 01 00 00 00 00 00.

I'm sure this is a common question so if there is a FAQ that answers this,

please point me to it. Thank you very much!

Chris
