How to use DATA command in Blitz Max?

I'm moving from Blitz Basic to Blitz Max and would like to upgrade my DATA commands, but I don't know how to do it.

On the Blitz Wiki it shows "DefData" and "ReadData" but there aren't any examples.

Ideally, I'd like it to be oo-orientated in this example;

Global player_list:TList=CreateList() 'To Store all the players

Type player
	Field name$

	Function create(_name$)
		p:player 	= New player
		p.name$		= _name$
		ListAddLast player_list, p
	End Function	
End Type

' Example data, this won't work in Blitz Max;
.lbl_names
Data "Smith"
Data "John"
Data "Bob"
Data "end" ' This is a marker saying its reached the end of all the names
