.
.EXT
.SG

are indirection symbols (see Table 2-7 on page 2-7).
identifier
is the identifier of the pointer.
REFALIGNED
For simple pointers, the default for REFALIGNED is the value you specify in the
REFALIGNED
on page 17-53.
2
specifies that the variables and structures that
identifier
references are aligned as
they would be aligned in TAL (and might not be well-aligned in pTAL).
8
specifies that the variables and structures are well-aligned for use in pTAL (and in
TAL, that they have more space).
For nonstructure pointers, the default for REFALIGNED is the value you specify in
the REFALIGNED on page 17-53.
