CL pgm and pointer variables

 >> If CL character variables are aligned on a 16-byte boundary, then if you
just receive the value from one procedure and pass it to another without
manipulating it, you should be okay.

In any language apart from CL I'd agree with you, but I've seen CL generate
some really strange code over the years including moving input parms to a
temp area and then back again (which would invalidate a "faked" pointer).
Personally I don't think it is worth the risk - even if it works today .....
