ASSUME:

Informs the assembler of the logical segment to be assumed of different


segment used in program.

MACRO:

It is used to define a set of macros.

DB:

It stands for Define byte. It is used to define a byte of memory

DW:

It stands for Define word. It is used to define a word of memory

DD:

It stands for Define double word. It is used to define a double word of


memory

LABEL:

It is used to assign name to the current content of the location counter.
