VAXTPU BEGINNING_OF — VMS 5.2

 BEGINNING_OF

    Returns a marker that points to the first position of a buffer or
    range.  If you use the marker returned by BEGINNING_OF as a parameter
    for the POSITION built-in, the current character position goes to this
    marker.

 Syntax

    marker := BEGINNING_OF ({buffer | range})

 Example

    beg_main := BEGINNING_OF (main_buffer);

    This assignment statement stores the marker at the beginning of the
    main buffer in the variable BEG_MAIN.
