Re: AW: %Addr() on Const parm @v4r5

Hans,

I was just using it to test if a parm had been passed as *OMIT. Since I've been using that technique for quite a while, I was surprised that it didn't work when I compiled it back to V4R5. The CEETSTA API works fine as a substitution, although it's a bit of extra code.

It's been years now, but if I recall correctly, the change was to allow
%ADDR() for CONST parameters, but not to allow assigning the result of
that to a variable.

(Assigning the address to a pointer variable could allow someone to
modify the CONST parameter.)

Cheers! Hans
