RE: Displaying/Printing a pointer value

<SNIP>
        Part of my standards is that every procedure has a test program
that
        will display all values returned by the procedure.
</SNIP>
So this is a unit testing tool to see if the functionality does not
break with typical parameters then?

        I'd like to display the pointer that would be returned by a
procedure       to verify the pointer has a valid value.
</SNIP>
I have not used pointers at all in any real programming work, but I
would think the only thing you could do is see if the pointer is *NULL
or not.  
I suppose you could map another field over a pointer in a DS.  You would
probably need to check into a tool that translates the value into a hex
string to make reading the actual value easier.  I am still not sure
that just seeing the pointer value is a validation of the functionality
working.  How will you know that the data it points to is valid for what
the function is supposed to return?
