Masm Commands

This document outlines the steps to write, assemble, link, and debug a MASM assembly language program. The steps are: 1) Use the "edit" command to open a file in the editor where the program code is typed and saved. 2) The "masm" command assembles the code if there are no syntax errors, generating an object file. 3) The "link" command links the object files together to create an executable file. 4) The "debug" command runs the executable and allows stepping through the code, viewing memory, and setting breakpoints.

MASM COMMANDS: C :/>cd foldername C:/foldername>edit filename.

asm After this command


executed in command prompt an editor window will open . Program should be typed in this window
and saved. The program structure is giv en below. Structure of Program: .model
tiny/small/medium/large .Stack <some number> .data ; Initialize data ; which is used in program.
.code ; Program logic goes here. ; end To run the program, the following steps have to be followed:
C:/foldername>masm filename.asm After this command is executed in command prompt if there are
no errors in program regarding to syntax the assembler will generates an object module as discuss
above. C:/foldername>link filename.obj After verifying the program for correct syntax and the
generated object files should be linked together. For this the above link command should be execu
ted and it will give an EXE file if the model directive is small as discuss abov e. C:/foldername>debug
filename.exe After generating EXE file by the assembler it s the time to check the outp ut. For this
the above command is used and the execution of the program can be d one in different ways. It is as
shown below: __ g __ t ; complete execution of program in single step. ; Stepwise execution. ; To see
data in memory location

__d ds: starting address or ending address s __p ogram __ q

; Used to execute interrupt or procedure during stepwise execution of pr ; To quit the execution.
