21.12 Pointer (P)
Local pointer
This is the pointer to be independently used in each program where the same pointer number can be used. This pointer is
specified in the following format: # (pointer number) (Example: #P0) (

Page 370 Specification method for the local
devices).
Effective use of number of points
Local pointer number of points are shared among all the programs. The range of the local pointer number of points used by
each program is from P0 to the maximum value of the local pointer being used in that program. For example, even when a
program actually uses only P99, 100 points (P0 to P99) are considered to be used. When using local pointers in multiple
programs, they can be effectively used by using them in ascending order from P0 in each program group.
(1) The local pointers with the same number can be used between different programs.
