/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb CC, Messages, NEEDPOINTER  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 Message        <Context> "<expression>" has <type> type, but occurs
                in a context that requires a pointer.

 Description    An expression that must be a pointer type was not a
                pointer type.  For example, the operand of the
                dereference operator must be a pointer type.

 User Action    Modify the expression so that it has a pointer type.
