PLIMOVE

PLIMOVE moves z storage units (bytes) from location y to location x, without any conversions, padding, or truncation.

Unlike the PLIOVER built-in subroutine, storage at locations x and y is assumed to be unique. If storage overlaps, unpredictable results can occur.

x and y

Expressions declared as POINTER or OFFSET. If the type is OFFSET, x or y must be declared with the AREA attribute.

z

Expression. It must have a computational type and is converted to type size_t.¹
