this chapter enables the student to:

• Use INT 21H function calls to:


– Input characters from the keyboard.
– Output characters to the screen.
– Input strings.
– Output strings.

4 . 0: I NT 21 H

• The INT instruction is somewhat like a FAR call.


– Saves CS:IP and the flags on the stack and goes
to the subroutine associated with that interrupt.

– In x86 processors, 256 interrupts, numbered 00 to FF.


• INT 10H and INT 21H are the most widely used with various
functions selected by the value in the AH register.

4 . 2: DOS INTERRUPT 2 1H

• In previous chapters, a fixed set of data was defined


in the data segment & results viewed in a memory.
– This section uses information inputted from the keyboard,
and displayed on the screen.
• A much more dynamic way of processing information.
• When the OS is loaded, INT 21H can be invoked
to perform some extremely useful functions.
– Commonly referred to as DOS INT 21H function calls.

• INT 21H can send a set of ASCII data to the monitor.
– Set AH = 09 and DX = offset address of the ASCII data.
• Displays ASCII data string pointed at by DX until it encounters
the dollar sign "$".
• The data segment and code segment, to display the
message "The earth is but one country" :

as the string display option (option 09) will not display '$‘.

• This functions waits until a character is input from
the keyboard, then echoes it to the monitor.
– After the interrupt, the input character will be in AL.

• A means by which one can get keyboard data from &
store it in a predefined data segment memory area.
– Register AH = 0AH.
– DX = offset address at which the string of data is stored.
• Commonly referred to as a buffer area.
• DOS requires a buffer area be defined in the data
segment.
– The first byte specifies the size of the buffer.
– The number of characters from the keyboard is in the
second byte.
– Keyed-in data placed in the buffer starts at the third byte.
