Description

The new procedure performs the following actions:

• Creates an identified variable from a pointer variable and stores the value identifying the identified variable (i.e. the address of the identified variable) in the pointer variable.
• Initializes a list variable before it is used.
• Creates an instance variable from an object variable and stores the value referencing the instance variable (i.e. the address of the instance variable) in the object variable.

The new procedure's only parameter is a reference to a pointer variable, object variable, or object variable.

Portability

Operating Systems: All
Standard Pascal: Yes

Standard Pascal does not support the list type or the object type and so does not support using the new procecedure on variables of those types.
