14 Syntax:
15 dcl set_char_offset_ entry (ptr, fixed bin (21)) returns (ptr)
16      reducible;
17 new_pointer_value = set_char_offset_ (pointer_value, char_offset);

20 Arguments:
21 pointer_value
22    identifies the segment in which the desired character resides.
23    (Input)
24 char_offset
25    is the offset (relative to the base of the segment) of the desired
26    character.  (Input)
27 new_pointer_value
28    is the result of this operation.  (Output)

32 zero.

34 If the value of char_offset is negative or greater than 1,048,575 (the
35 offset of the last character in a 256K word segment), the resulting
36 value of the call is not defined.
