how to load data at end of program

I want to load another program at the end of my currently executing program then jump into that. It would seem to be rather easy to 'db' a byte at the end of the first program and dump the next program + 10 bytes or so after that. I was just wondering if there was a more elegant way to define the address of the end of a program?

Code:
[Select]
the_end:
Frequently, executable memory is read-only. You may need to work around that. What's your OS?

homebrew OS like menuet or mikeos...it was late at nite and my brain was fried and it does seem like a stupid question after some sleep. I don't know what I was looking for...anyway...thanks for no snarky comments...I'll sleep on any further questions before asking them.

No such thing as a stupid question. Although we did used to say, "ASCII foolish question, get a foolish ANSI."
