title: What does the @data directive mean in MASM?
body: <p>I have come across the following directive in some assembly code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mov    ax, @data
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've gone through my assembler book and tried some Googl-ing, but can't find a definition.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
