.DATA Define Data Segment Directive
.DATA
The .DATA directive is used to start the definition of a data
segment. All statements that follow are considered part of the data
segment. You end the definition of the data segment with another
segment directive (such as .CODE) or an END directive, which
indicates the end of the file.
Before you use .DATA, you must have defined a memory model with the
.MODEL directive.
The advantage of .DATA is that the data segment's name is translated
into the standard data segment name for that memory model when the
file is assembled, which makes it easy to link into high-level
languages.
