sorry, it is my mistake .
it is 0x0002 and 0x0003.

THe following worked for hex values but
the strings , i want to know the technique
to make it work .

Working .db
-----------

_asm;
sdsea: .db 0x0002,0x0003
mov dptr,#sdsea
_endasm;

I found that using .db is the correct
approach and just db is not needed.

I am able to get the above correctly.

But, how about moving a string of characters
using db directive ?

The following didnot work :
--------------------------

1)
_asm;
sdsea: .db 'sdc'
mov dptr,#sdsea
_endasm
The above didnt work.

2)
_asm;
sdsea: .db 's;','d;','c;'
mov dptr,#sdsea
_endasm
THe above gave missing or improper delimiter
error.

3)
_asm;
sdsea: .db '#s;','#d;','#c;'
mov dptr,#sdsea
_endasm
The above got compiled but doesnt give
the correct output except for the first
character.

4)
_asm;
sdsea: .db 's;','d;','c;'
mov dptr,#sdsea
_endasm
The above got compiled but did not give
the correct output except for the first
character 's'.


How to use strings with .db directive ?
How to move 'sdc' in to memory using
directive and call it using the .db
directive ?
