Abstract: This disclosure relates to an information processing system having means to dynamically prepare memory addresses for any particular element in a field of variable length which field may reside in any portion of the systems storage. Each desired element is specified by a descriptor which contains all the information necessary for such specification and the system is provided with an evaluation section which is adapted to evaluate the descriptor to extract that information necessary to create the memory control word which is employed to address the system storage. Because of the dynamic nature of the descriptor evaluation or memory address preparation, absolute memory addresses need not be created until such time as they are required. Furthermore, the method and apparatus employed allow for the accessing of a hierarchy of nested structures within the system storage.
