I trying to write a simple assmebly program for a lab class and I can't seem to get it to work right. It'll store the string entered but it will not print it back you. The trouble maybe something simple that I just can't see right now, but I would like any help anyone can give. I'm going to bed, maybe after a nights sleep I can see what I am missing.
Thanks.
Code is as follows:
;PROGRAM 3 OF LAB 1
;FILENAME: INTRO3.ASM
;FILE FORMAT: EXE
PAGE 55,132
.386
STACK_SEG SEGMENT STACK USE16
DB 255 DUP(0)
STACK_SEG ENDS
DATA_SEG SEGMENT 'DATA' USE16
MESSAGE DB 'ECE4210/ECE7210 LAB1 PART 3',0DH,0AH
DB 'ENTER A STRING FROM KEYBORD: $'
OUTMSG DB 0DH,0AH,'THE STRING YOU JUST ENTERED IS: $'
INCHAR DB 255,255 DUP(0)
NEWLINE DB 0DH,0AH,'$'
DATA_SEG ENDS
