Server Guide : Appendix B. CICS Smalltalk classes : ADDRESS command
ADDRESS command
Gets access to CICS storage areas. In Smalltalk, the parameters of the ADDRESS command are contained in two classes: CICSAddress and CICSAddressResult.
See CICS Application Programming Reference for the syntax of the command and a description of its parameters.
The object returned is a CICSObject, which is a subclass of OsPtr. As such, the object can be accessed directly using methods such as copyFrom:to:. Alternatively, you can subclass CICSObject with your own application-defined class.

Examples
Example 1
Establishes the address of the communication area. In this example, CICSCommArea is a subclass of OsPtr.
| result aCommArea |
result := CICS address exec.
aCommArea := CICSCommArea address: (result commarea reference).
Example 2
Finds the length of the communication area based on the eib.
| result eib commAreaLength |
result := CICS address exec.
eib := result eib.
commAreaLength := eib eibcalen.
