I’m getting this error: label or instruction expected at start of line in the .data section when defining a string made up of bytes:

st2 db "num3>num1,2", 0xA, 0xD

I looked at the possible solutions but none seem to match what I was looking for but all of them was either a missed semicolon when typing a comment, or UTF-DOM encoding. (NASM only permits use of ASCII)
