Well first of all the declaration of the string should not be in the .text section and there should be a name associated with it. The second problem is that you are doing a call to code when you should just do a jump. However, even if you fix all that this code would perform an infinite loop. When you get to the end of the code lable you call code again and there is no decision structure to end the program.
