ASCII CODE
INT 21h FUNCTIONS

AH = 01h KEYBOARD INPUT. This function waits for you to type a character on
the keyboard. It echoes the character to the screen and returns the ASCII
character in the AL register
AH = 02h DISPLAY OUTPUT. This function displays one character on the screen.
DL = character to display on screen
AH = 08h KEYBOARD INPUT WITHOT ECHO. This function reads a character from
the keyboard but doesn’t display the character on the screen.
AL = Character read from the keyboard.
AH = 09h DISPLAY STRING. This function displays the string pointed to by the
DS:DX pair of registers.
The end of the string should be marked with the $ symbol.
AH = 0AH READ STRING. This function reads the string from the keyboard.
AH = 4Ch EXIT DOS. This function allows you to go back to DOS environment.
AL Return Code
- normally sets to zero (0)
TRY TO CODE IN YOUR
DEBUG!!!!!!!!
Example 1

Displaying a character (Uppercase ‘A’) on screen.


MOV AH, 02 ;request for display character
MOV DL, 41 ;character display (ASCII code for
A)
INT 21 ; call interrupt service
INT 20 ; END
Code and Output
EXAMPLE 2

Displaying character (lowercase ‘b’) twice on screen.

MOV AH, 02 ; request display character


MOV DL, 62 ;character to display
INT 21 ; call interrupt service
INT 21 ; call interrupt service
INT 20 ; end
Code and Output
EXAMPLE 3
Displaying the same character(lowercase ‘z’) thirty times using
LOOP on screen.

MOV CX, 001E ; setting the number of loops


MOV AH, 02 ;request display character
MOV DL, 7A ;character to display
NEXT: INT 21 ; call interrupt service
LOOP NEXT ; go to offset
INT 20 ; end
Code and Output
Example 4
Displaying different characters (‘A to Z’) using LOOP on the same line.

MOV CX, 001A ; setting the number of loops


MOV AH, 02 ;request display character
MOV DL, 41 ; character ‘A’
INT 21 ;call interrupt service
INC DL ; add 1 to the value of DL
LOOP NEXT ; go to offset
INT 20 ; end
Code and Output Output
Example 5
Displaying different characters (‘0’ to ‘9’) using LOOP vertically.

MOV CX, 000A ; Setting the number of loops


MOV AH, 02 ; request display character
MOV DL, 30 ; character ‘0’
NEXT: INT 21 ; call interrupt service
MOV BL, DL ; temporarily store the value of DL to BL
MOV DL, 0A ; line feed character
INT 21 ; call interrupt service
MOV DL, 0D ;carriage return character
INT 21 ; call interrupt service
MOV DL, BL ;BL transfers back the value of DL
INC DL ;add 1 to the value of DL
LOOP NEXT ; go to offset
INT 20 ; end
Code and Output
Output
Example 7

Displaying string (‘computer’) on screen.


Step 1. code the instruction at –A 0100
Step 2. input the hex code of every character of the
string at E -0200
Code and Output
!!!!!!TRY!!!!!!
1. Construct a DEBUG program that will display the
different characters (‘0’ to ‘9’) using LOOP with
separator (underscore) horizontally.
2. Construct a DEBUG program that will display the
first 10 letters in alphabet horizontally.
