Re: What part of an RPG program is re-used?

The only reason would be to pass the pointer in lieu of the qualified name to avoid re-resolving the object. The pointer would essentially be opaque but would allow the system to more quickly execute the lookup. I don't know that it would actually provide any benefit; my guess is that like program resolution the system only resolves when necessary but I don't know for sure.

Not sure what you'd do with a pointer to a user index even if you could
get one? Write your own index traversal code? (If it's not obvious --
a user index is an *index*, like you'd have in a database file. It's
not a simple flat contiguous piece of data.)

This seems like the best approach. I don't know if I can lock the user
space into memory, but if it gets used enough it should be in memory
anyway. And the user space wins over the user index because I can
retrieve the pointer. There doesn't seem to be a corresponding QUSPTRUS
API for a user index.
