I wonder if you should use an AS/400 pointer like you would use a pointer in C on a Unix or Intel platform. I would think that an AS/400 pointer is a little more "heavy weight" than a C pointer in those environments - what with authority checking and domain checking and range checking and so forth ... comments from those in the know? Making the question a little more precise -- If I write an app in C that uses a pointer-based character variable to scan a long string and run it on an Intel box then run it on an AS/400, will the number of instructions executed be comparable?
