Hello everyone,
I am new to mainframe world.
I am trying to get data at a particular address using pointer in cobol.
Example: I have an address in one variable, i want to know the data at that address using pointer.
Is there any way to do the same?
Thanks in advance. |

Is the pointer-address pointing to data in your program or another program?
What version/release of COBOL are you using? |

I think you need to be very clear about what it is you are trying to do.
We don't need to specifically use POINTERs very often, so maybe there is a better way to do what you want (with COBOL doing all the pointering without you having to know). |
