Please can somebody help me correct this code because am a newbie, the code is not displaying what it suppose to display.

Regards
Paul

Isn't DOS printing suppose to have a '$' terminator?

Oh yes.
message DB 'ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING$'


String must end with '$'

i TRIED IT AND IT DOESNT DIPLAY THE MESSAGE
IS THERE ANY ERROR ON THE CODE.

CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME DEBUG IT.

THANKS

Is the ;model medium and ;stack supposed to be commented out.
pls can any one help me re-write that script to display
"assembly language program" on the screen.

regards
paul

Are you using
you were using BX which is wrong.

Post your current code again!

Hi Wildgoose,
Thank you so much for all your support, I am a new in assembly language and am very eager to know it because it is one of my major in my course.
But, this assignment is very crucial to me because it carries 30 mark, and I have to submit it tomorrow. Please if you can help me make it work , I will appreciate so much.
One thing again, am using an IDE software called emu8086. when I ran it, it doesnt display output automatically, i have to click on screen button, but then is oesnt show anything. just blank black screen.

Am suspecting this area of code segment as where the problem lies:
1. MODEM MEDIUM
2. STACK
3. ASSUME CS: Dispsg, DS: Datasg
4. MOV DS, BX
5.LEA DS, message


Actually, the second question of this assignment requests that after the first one works, that I should rewrite the program using a function value of INT 21h.

please am very grateful so far for urgent attention you gave for this my codes to make sure it works.

Thanks so much as I wait for your reply.

DX DX DX DX DX !!!!!

You mean the following lines:

MOV DS,BX
LEA DX,message;
