8086 assembly language program to convert from hex or decimal to ASCII. Ideally what you are trying to do is to display a number as a numeric character. In this program, we will display decimal 356 or hex 164 as a string 250
The first thing to do would be to run the program.
8086 code hex or decimal to ASCII
;----------------------------------------
;Program : clear screen
;FileName : hextoasc.asm
;I/P : number (365 decimal) in ax
;O/P : displays 365
;----------------------------------------
.model tiny
.code
org 100h
main proc near
mov ax,365d
mov si,offset message
mov cx,00h
mov bx,0ah
hexloop1:
mov dx,0
div bx
add dl,'0'
push dx
inc cx
cmp ax,0ah
jge hexloop1
add al,'0'
mov [si],al
hexloop2:
pop ax
inc si
mov [si],al
loop hexloop2
inc si
mov [si],'$'
mov ah,09h
mov dx,offset message
int 21h
mov ah,4ch
mov al,00
int 21h
endp
message db 10 dup(?)
end main
Output
I am using emu8086 to run the program. You can also run the program using tasm or masm
Generate executable using
tasm filename.asm
tlink /t filename
let's improve the code a little bit. The output will be the same. I am going to modify the code to display two numbers instead of one. For this the main thing, I have to do is to write a procedure for converting from hexadecimal to ASCII. Check the improved code below
Improved code
;----------------------------------------
;Program : clear screen
;FileName : hextoasc.asm
;I/P : number (365 decimal) in ax & number (969 decimal) in ax
;O/P : displays 365 & 969
;----------------------------------------
.model tiny
.code
org 100h
main proc near
mov ax,356d
mov si,offset message
call hexToAsc
mov ah,09h

mov ah,09h
mov dx,offset message

int 21h
endp
