While this is of course literally true, it is not usefully so. It is, for example, possible to to provide offsets (in the form of unsigned external decimal-digit strings) that a knowledgeable routine can convert into such pointers. It is indeed possible to provide 8- or 16-digit external hexadecimal-digit pointer representations (in a PARM= string) that are immediately convertible into virtual-storage addresses.
