hi, in Cobol: "set address of TB1 to PTR?", my understanding is pointer vairable PTR point to the memory area which table TB1 is loaded, is that right?
by the way, the two sytax: " SET pointer-name TO ADDRESS OF based-item"
"SET ADDRESS OF based-item TO pointer-name" is the same? or something difference, I'm very confuse that, thanks a lot,
