Looking at the CALL verb, I see ILE COBOL allows USING BY xxxx Identifier where xxxx can be REFERENCE, CONTENT or VALUE. I normally wouldn't have a big issue with that, but each of those allows the addition of ADDRESS OF between xxxx and Identifier. If I code: CALL MyProg USING BY VALUE ADDRESS OF My-Variable how is that different from: CALL MyProg USING BY VALUE My-Variable or: CALL MyProg USING BY REFERENCE ADDRESS OF My-Variable or any other variation??? I don't see clear discussion in the manuals on this point. I thought I knew the difference between REFERENCE, CONTENT and VALUE; but is ADDRESS OF particularly meaningful for all of REFERENCE, CONTENT and VALUE? Is it different for each? Thanks for any insight.
