Just Noticed I defined the pointer as part of the data structure in the
calling program in my example.  I've never successfully formed the habit of
giving standalone fields their 'S.'  Fortunately (?) it seems to work either
way. 

D specs should look like:

D ptrtst2         pr                  extpgm('PTRTST2')        
D pointer                         *                            
D                                                              
D datastruct      ds                                           
D packed                         5p 0 inz(99999)               
D char                           5    inz('five')              
D                                                              
D ptrparm         s               *   inz(%addr(datastruct))   
C
