Description
The Get pointer command returns a pointer to the process or interprocess variable whose name you pass in varName.
To get a pointer to a field, use Field. To get a pointer to a table, use Table.
Note: You can pass expressions such as, for example, ArrName+"{3}" to Get pointer. However, you cannot use 2D array elements (ArrName+"{3}{5}") or variable elements (ArrName+"{myVar}").
Example
In a form, you build a 5 x 10 grid of enterable variables named v1, v2... v50. To initialize all of these variables, you write:
` ... For ($vlVar;1;50) $vpVar:=Get pointer("v"+String($vlVar)) $vpVar->:="" End for
