Until you assign memory to that pointer, your looking at storage that you don't own. The data structure is just a "template" with no storage associated with it, initially. Often this I done when you pass a pointer to a data structure as a parm, then that parm is inserted into the BASED() keyword.

Common sense tells me it's just the room for the pointer; that all references to the field are done via pointer arithmetic.
