SSEG Function
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Action

 Returns the segment address of a string (or 0 if the argument is a null
 string).


 Syntax



  SSEG( stringvariable$)

 Remarks


 The argument  stringvariable$ is the string variable for which you want the
 segment address. It can be a simple string variable or a single element of a
 string array. You cannot use fixed-length string arguments.


  SSEG returns the segment address for strings. It is typically used in
 mixed-language programming to obtain far addresses before passing far
 strings to procedures written in other languages.

  SSEG usually is used with far strings but also can be used with strings
 stored in DGROUP (in which case it returns DGROUP's address). The offset of
 a string can be found by using the  SADD function.

 In OS-2 protected mode, the  SSEG function returns the selector of the
 specified string variable.
