Hi Murali,
U can initialize a pointer variable as :
dcl ptr1 ptr init(sysnull());
This is equivalent to initializing a char string with blanks.

Sourbh,
Still i feel that we can't initialize the pointer to blanks.my concern is always pointer represents some address in the memory and we can't blankout the memory.Plz correct me if i'm thinking in wrong way. |
