const placed in DATA segment

Hi All,
when I write:
const char mysting[] ={"my string"};

data are placed to DATA segment, not code sement. I know if it would be written like this:

code char mysting[] ={"my string"};

data will be placed in code segment. What I have to do for automatic placing const data to code segment? I did it by #define const code
But may be other ways are exist.

Thanks,
Vladimir
