I assume that you linked this program as an .EXE file, (although I did
not notice any instruction for the entry point).
With .EXE files, the system sets the CS register to the code segment
but sets the DS and ES registers to the program presegment. You have to
set these registers yourself to the proper segments, such as:

   mov  ax,data
   mov  ds,ax
