Lab session 6: Input-output programming

Objective

The objective of lab session 6 is


 To differentiate type of disk operating system routines and input-output commands
 To know data allocation directives and declaring data variables inside the data
segment
 To know transfer and loading instruction in assembly language
 To write assembly language program code, assemble and link

Important Input-Output programming note and examples


 When you read a character from the user, the input character stored in ‘AL’ register.
 When you display a character/string, you should store the character/string inside data
register(DX / DL)

MOV AH, 1 MOV AH, 2 MOV AH, 8 MOV AH, 9 MOV AH, 9
INT 21h MOV DL, „?‟ INT 21h MOV DX, OFFSET MSG LEA DX, MSG
INT 21h INT 21h INT 21h

 INT 21H is used to invoke a large number of DOS function. The type of called function is
specified by pulling a number in AH register.
