Let's suppose we want to write out a two-digit number in any numerical system between [2..10]. Value comes in AL, the base of the numerical system comes in AH.
MACRO   Write2Digit
LOCAL   zeros, convert
        mov     byte ptr aam_operand,ah
        call    convert
zeros   db      '00$'
aam_operand	equ $+1
convert:
        aam
        xchg    al,ah
        mov     ah,9
        pop     dx
        int     21h
        ENDM
When we want to write decimal numbers only, then it is unnecessary to rewrite the AAM's operand.
