Re: CL pgm and pointer variables

Then you'll enjoy RPG IV in V5R2 which introduces the concept of
array data structures. These are sort of like MODS's, but you
explicitly code the index. Thus, you can refer to multiple
occurrences (or elements) in the same expression. That makes one
fewer reason for using pointers!  ;-)
