Can you make the pointer a constant instead of a variable? (Note: your message said 'static' but I read it as 'constant')

Hi Barbara,
Agreed. I suspected such an explanation would prevent the concept from being feasible. Too bad the address couldn't be made static such that the pointer could not be changed during runtime.
Thanks for the feedback.

The following snippet is a mapped named indicator example (there are other methods):
// named indicators
D p_Indicators S * Inz(%Addr(*In))
D indicators DS Based(p_Indicators)

D inputUL 1N Overlay(indicators: *Next)
Daron, your indicators DS isn't necessarily always mapped to the *IN indicators. Your p_Indicators pointer could be set to point to some other storage.
Any human can tell that the "indicators" DS is mapped over *IN, but it's not _officially_ mapped over *IN.
So unfortunately, the concept of a mapped named indicator doesn't really exist.
