  Description:
 
     Starts a constant data segment (called CONST in DGROUP) and ends
     the previous segment, if any. For consistency with other
     languages, this segment should contain all strings, real numbers,
     and other constant data accessed by a high-level language. The
     CONST segment has the READONLY attribute.
 
     The .MODEL directive must precede this directive.
