Syntax Error				Description
Invalid				The number specified as an offset or literal is improperly
characters				formatted. Possible causes are 1) lack of white space setting

				hexadecimal.
				■ A number with a leading 0 is treated as octal.
				■ All other numbers are treated as decimal.

large				An offset is limited to 1518 minus the size of the operand.
				For example, the offset for pushField.b can be no more than
				1517 and the offset for pushField.w no more than 1516.
				A literal value is limited to the number of bytes in the
				operand size (1, 2, 4, or 6).

				of this error include a source definition exceeding 4096
				bytes, a stored format exceeding 254 bytes, or a run-time

format exceeding 2048 bytes. All of these boundary conditions are checked when the filter is loaded. See Table 13-2 for more information on packet filter sizes.
