  Syntax:  .DATA
 
  Starts the initialized data segment (_DATA) and ends previous segment,
  if any. The .MODEL directive must have previously been used. This
  segment should contain all global data that have initial values.
 
  The .MODEL directive generates a GROUP statement that places _DATA in
  DGROUP.
