DSEG 〚AT address〛

The DSEG statement selects an absolute segment within DATA space.

If the optional address is included, the assembler starts the absolute segment from that address. The valid address range is 00h-0FFh (data memory resides from 00h-7Fh and SFRs reside from 80h-0FFh).

If the optional address is omitted, the assembler starts the absolute segment from address 0 (if no prior absolute DATA segment was defined). If an absolute DATA segment was previously defined, the assembler continues from the end of that segment.

Note

• The start address must be an absolute expression.
• The A251 Assembler converts DSEG statements into the following:

  ?DT?modulename?n SEGMENT OFFS address
  

  Where

  modulename	is the name of the source file.
  n	is a sequential number.
  address	is the address specified in the DSEG statement.

           DSEG  AT 0x40      ; absolute DATA segment at 40H

TMP_A:     DS    2            ; absolute data word variable
                              ; named TMP_A

TEM_B:     DS    4            ; absolute data dword (32-bit)
                              ; variable named TMP_B
