Abstract
A number of memory locations are reserved in computer memory to store pointers which indicate an address within streams of sequentially arranged data. The data stream to be scanned is selected. To scan the information stored within the data stream, a single register is provided to increment the pointer corresponding to that data stream. The pointer information is then incremented and stored into the reserved memory location. The process of selecting, scanning, incrementing, and storing may repeat for each data stream to which access is sought.
