As always, "it depends".  Just what the heck are you trying to accomplish
here, anyway?
Now I would tell the idea behind my question which I have been waiting
since the RPGLE have %ADDR function.  Because I have a project to build a
RPG program which can make decisions, and users can dymamically set up the
rules.  Therefore, I would like to know if is there any function it return
an object like
  ojbect = %ObjectOf('CUSTID')
OR a function it can return the pointer from the content of a field
pointer = %AddrByContent('CUSTID')
If I have either function, I can use the following statement to retrieve
the address of CUSTID by using a character field (FIELD001) which has the
content 'CUSTID'.
     CUSTIDPOINTER =  %ADDR(%ObjectOf(FIELD001))
or           CUSTIDPOINTER =   %AddrByContent(FIELD001)
And finally, these functions will be very helpful when you develop CGI
program.  However, what I asked is already outdated.  Never mind, thanks
anyway.
