Hey Hans,
Did you get my pointer example?  And the explanation of why you might want to 
do this?
My sample program compiled and worked fine.
Oh my God!  Jon goaded me into being a pointer fiend!  And I've never touched 
them before RPGIV!

No, you can't do that in ILE RPG.  And even in those
programming languages where you can do that (such as
Perl), it's not recommended.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Cheers!  Hans
