#110413 - What assembler?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Keil call their 8051 Assembler "A51" - and I'm sure they're not the only ones!

So precisely what assembler are you using - author, version, etc.

Currently I am burning my microcontroller AT89S52 using the obj file generated by the A51 assembler. I am not sure if I should be converting the obj file to hex / binary before downloading it on to my microcontroller.

What does the documentation for your assembler say?

Often, an object file may be relocatable, may contain symbolic debug information, may need linking with other supporting objects and/or libraries, etc, etc...

If the "obj" file created by your assembler is a pure binary absolute code image - you'll be fine; otherwise, it will need further processing
