Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Syntax:   .CONST
 
  See also: .MODEL, .CODE, .DATA, .FARDATA, .STACK, @data, @DataSize,
            Table of Memory Models
 
  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.
