ADDRESS OF

ADDRESS OF refers to the calculated address of a data item. The data item can be reference modified or subscripted. You may take the ADDRESS OF any Data Division item that is not a type-name or a subordinate of a type-name, and that does not have level number 66 or 88. Such an address can be referenced, but not changed.

The ADDRESS OF an item is implicitly defined as USAGE IS POINTER.
