Try:
main ()
{
        _asm
        {
        data_label:
                dw ??????
        }
}

I use MSVC which doesn't support the define directives, so I am not sure the
Borland supports it either: check that out 1st since that could be a problem.
If it is, you may be able to use _emit, which is like DB.
