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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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:   @data
 
  See also: .DATA, .CONST, .STACK, .STARTUP, .MODEL, .DATA?,
            @DataSize, Table of Memory Models
 
  Description:
 
     Predefined equate representing DGROUP, which contains all near
     data segments that are defined by the .DATA, .DATA?, .CONST, and
     .STACK directives. To access data in any of these segments, DS
     must contain the value @data (under DOS, the .STARTUP directive
     automatically initializes DS). This equate can be used with the
     ASSUME directive or other directives that require segment names.
 
     The .MODEL directive must precede this equate.
