Internal ANY-Format

For specification of an ANY 10 bytes are used internally.

Byte 0 is always 10h.

Byte 2 and 3 specifies of how many elements the any consists.

Byte 4 and 5 specifies the DB-No. If the data are not in a DB a 0 will be displayed here.

Byte 6 specifies the memory area.

Byte 7 till 9 code the starting address.

These four bytes together correspond to the simple pointer-format.
