%LOC (arg) Returns the internal address of a storage item. The argument can be a variable, an expression, or the name of a procedure. (It must not be the name of an internal procedure or statement function.) It can be of any data type. The result is an INTEGER*8 data type. In the case of global symbolic constants, %LOC returns the value of the constant rather than an address. The %LOC built-in function serves the same purpose as the LOC intrinsic.
