"location" is of TYPE "ADDRESS". Addresses in the large models are composed of a segment and an offset part, at least if you're using an Intel processor compiler, like the TopSpeed one. Since INC only works on ordinal types in general, it won't work on a structured type like ADDRESS, which is a record composed of the two CARDINALs "Segment" and "Offset". The TopSpeed library provides you with the necessary procedures to do all the address arithmetic you need, though.

Simply use Lib.IncAddr(location,TSIZE(WORD)).

Glad to help,
Domus
