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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Pragma:   data_seg
 
  Syntax:   #pragma data_seg ( [ "seg_name" [, " seg_class" ] )
 
  Summary:  Specifies a segment where data is to be allocated.
 
  See also:  __based, __loadds, code_seg
             ◄Naming Segments►
 
     The data_seg pragma specifies a segment where data is to be
     allocated, allowing the use of based allocation without rewriting
     code. Using #pragma data_seg is equivalent to using __based when
     __based is used for allocation. The <seg_class> parameter allows
     you to assign a segment class to a segment name. This pragma
     applies only to initialized data and does not affect tentative
     definitions. Using #pragma data_seg without a <seg_name> string
     resets allocation to whatever it was when compilation began.
 
     NOTE: The data_seg pragma is not equivalent to the data_seg
           pragma supported by earlier versions of the compiler.
