Hmm, actually, each comma is what lets the compiler know its the next byte and
I dont really see what youre talking about. Although, I've had this error
message before when I had a string that was too long for some reason, for
example:

String:
	.db "This is a very long string that TASM can't handle",0

and it worked for some reason by splitting up the string like so...

String:
	.db "This is a very long string "
	.db "that TASM can't handle",0

I dunno why, just trying moving some of your data to the next line with
another ".db" and that should work... =P
