* _OFFSET function return values should be stored in [[_OFFSET]] type variables. As no other variable type is 'elastic' like [[_OFFSET]], there can be no guarantee that any other variable type can hold the value of an _OFFSET.
* Returns the memory offset of variables, user-defined-types & elements, arrays & indices and the base offset of [[STRING]]s.
* Offset values are currently only useful when used in conjunction with [[_MEM]] or [[DECLARE LIBRARY]] procedures.
* OFFSET values are used as a part of the [[_MEM]] variable [[Variable Types|type]] in QB64; {{Parameter|variable}}.OFFSET returns or sets the current position in memory.
* '''Warning:''' QB64 variable length strings can move about in memory at any time. If you get the _OFFSET of a variable length sting on one line and use it on the next it may not be there anymore.''' To be safe, move variable length strings into fixed length strings first.'''
