Yea. Looks like common code to find the end of a string. It's odd that no label was generated but I'm no Resource expert.

Would it have an effect on the assembler if dw is used instead of dl or db? As this is not code I am not really interested in it at the moment however do not know if it would still stop me from re-assemble. |
Not all data is text (some are numbers). There is no zero byte at the end so this is probably not text but it is difficult to know without labels to this data and without seeing what is after this.
It doesn't matter if dl, dw or db is used. It affects how compact and readable the data is but not the assembler output.
