What I mean is that SP2 receives a pointer and passes a pointer; because
it does not do anything else with the pointer, it technically does not
really matter what the pointer points to. It might be a character field, a
data structure, a packed field or anything else. It would make more sense
to pass the pointer by value, but you can't use VALUE in a program
prototype.

That it won't compile is because of a mismatch between prototype (PR) and
procedure interface (PI). If you make sure they match, the compiler will
happily accept it.

Not sure what you mean there. It won't compile if I change the type
because of the prototype mismatch, but if I change it to 1
character, I get the same results.
