I am trying to implement the following as a part of my code:

CNTPORT EQU 0F003H

Set_8255_mode2: ; Initialising 8255
push acc
mov a,#98h ;A:IN, B:OUT, C_u:IN C_l:OUT
mov dptr,#CNTPORT
movx @dptr,a
pop acc
ret

While trying to check this on the Keil, the keil doesnt show any output on the port after movx(it should show the accumulator value on P0??)
I feel the code is correct!!
Kindly help
