                 character function lspos (ptr, pos)
                 pointer ptr
                 integer pos

                 Library:  vlslb


            _F_u_n_c_t_i_o_n

                 'Ptr' is updated to point to the string starting at position
                 'pos'.   'Ptr'  will not be updated past the EOS.  The value
                 returned by the function is the character in position 'pos'.


            _I_m_p_l_e_m_e_n_t_a_t_i_o_n

                 The string is traversed until 'pos' - 1 characters have been
                 skipped.  The new pointer is then returned in 'ptr'  and  as
                 the function value.
