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