I need help with this code of assembly language

.model small
.stack 100h
.DATA
STRING1 db 5 DUP (?),"$"
.code
main proc

    MOV AX, @DATA
    MOV ES, AX ; initialize ES
    LEA DI,[STRING1]         ; assume BYTE string
    CLD
    MOV AL, 'A'
    STOSB                   ; store 1st byte of A
    STOSB                   ; store 1st byte of A
