Great!
When is the memory occupied by the values of those fields released or  
changed (overwritten)? How long can I keep a pointer to those memory  
blocks given to me by "I_Value.begin()" and be sure, that the memory  
is accessible and contains the right value? Should I copy them  
immediately to be sure to keep the right value?
As I understand, if the VSDKC++ does not overwrite this part of the  
memory (e. g. with the next "I_Table.put_RecID()") and automatic  
garbage collection is used, these memory blocks should be valid and  
contain the right values, as long as I keep a pointer to them?


Thanks
