Pointers can be used to declare variables for storing the memory address of a variable.
You can assign a value to a pointer variable with the AddressOf function. This command will retrieve the memory address of a named variable and return it to the pointer variable.
String sName
Pointer lpNameVar
Move 'John' to sName
Move (AddressOf(sName)) to lpNameVar
The above example first declares a string variable. Next a value is assigned to the string. This allocates memory to the string. Next the memory address of the string is stored in the pointer variable lpNameVar.
Notes: A variable's address is not allocated until a value is first assigned to it. When string variables grow in size, their address in memory may change.
32-bit: 0 to 4,294,967,295
64-bit: 0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615
