ADDRDATA

ADDRDATA returns the pointer value that identifies the generation of x.


>>-ADDRDATA(x)-------------------------------------------------><

ADDRDATA behaves the same as the ADDR built-in function except in the following instance:

When applied to a varying string, ADDRDATA returns the address of the first data byte of the string (rather than of the length field).
When applied to an OFFSET reference with the LOCATES attribute and implicit AREA qualification:
- If the OFFSET reference is not null, ADDRDATA returns the address of the located data.
- If the OFFSET reference is null, ADDRDATA returns SYSNULL.
