Hi Joe, et.al. -

I don't know what the exact restrictions are on getting the address of CONST
parameters are, but I didn't specify CONST on mine.  In fact, I don't want
to specify CONST; I'm using the data structure as a single bidirectional
parameter block.  So "pDS = %addr(parm1)" works just ducky for me.

I think all you can do with the address of a CONST parameter is check it against *NULL. If you could use the actual address, you could modify the data, which isn't allowed for CONST parameters.

With older versions of the compiler you couldn't even check the address against *NULL.
