ENDS (Close a Segment, Structure, or Union Declaration)

Closes a program segment opened with SEGMENT directive, or ends a structure or union definition opened with the STRUCT or UNION directives. Every SEGMENT, STRUCT, and UNION directive must end with a corresponding ENDS directive.

Syntax

Segment-Name ENDS
   or
Structure-Name ENDS
   or
Union-Name ENDS

Remarks

If the ENDS directive is not used with the corresponding SEGMENT, STRUCT, or UNION directive, an error occurs. An unmatched ENDS also causes an error.

Note: See the SEGMENT, STRUCT, and UNION directives for more details and examples of the use of ENDS.

Example

CONST    SEGMENT    word public 'CONST'
SEG1     DW         ARRAY_DATA
SEG2     DW         MESSAGE_DATA
