CALL "M$GET"
USING MEM-ADDRESS, DATA-ITEM, DATA-SIZE, DATA-OFFSET
| MEM-ADDRESS USAGE POINTER | Must point to a memory area previously allocated by M$ALLOC. |
| DATA-ITEM Any data item | Data from the memory block will be stored in this item. |
| DATA-SIZE Numeric parameter (optional) | The number of bytes to move from the memory block. If omitted, then the number of bytes is set to the size of the memory block (excluding overhead bytes). |
| DATA-OFFSET Numeric parameter (optional) | The location within the memory block from which to start the move. The first location is position 1. If omitted, this value defaults to 1. |
This routine retrieves data from the memory block at MEM-ADDRESS and stores it in DATA-ITEM. Regardless of the value of DATA-SIZE, no bytes are copied from past the end of the memory block. Note that the size of DATA-ITEM is not checked.
