I am trying to get my program to display a string on two different lines.
This is a .com program and I am using A86 assembler.
jmp start ; This will start the program
;============================
msg db "Hello Word.$" ; A string variable
msg db "Michael J. Crawley$" ; A string variable with a value.
;============================
start:
mov ah,09 ; subfunction 9 output a string
mov dx,offset msg ; DX for the string
int 21h ; Output the message
int 21h ; Output the message
exit:
mov ah,4ch
mov al,00 ; Exit code
int 21h ; End program
Here are your specific problems:
msg
twice (a86 will barf on that).The solutions to those points (without providing the actual code).
msg2
.msg2
into dx before calling int21 for the second time.Update: Since some other helpful soul has already provided source, here's my solution. I would suggest you learn from this and modify your own code to do a similar thing. If you copy it verbatim from a public site for classwork, you'll almost certainly be caught out for plagiarism:
jmp start ; This will start the program
msg db "Hello Word.",0a,"$" ; A string variable .
msg2 db "Michael J. Crawley$" ; A string variable with a value.
start: mov ah,09 ; subfunction 9 output a string
mov dx,offset msg ; DX for the string
int 21h ; Output the message
mov dx,offset msg2 ; DX for the string
int 21h ; Output the message
exit:
mov ah,4ch
mov al,00 ; Exit code
int 21h ; End program
This outputs:
Hello Word.
