Syntax: .data [subsection]
`.data` tells `as` to assemble the following statements onto the end of the data subsection numbered subsection (which is an absolute expression). If subsection is omitted, it defaults to zero.
In order to be compatible with the Sun assembler, the 680x0 assembler understands the directives `.data1` and `.data2` as alternatives to `.data 1` and `.data 2`.
