+data access</title><shortdesc>Describes how the parameters that are passed to the descriptors
+are checked to ensure the they are not accessing illegal data.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>The parameters that are passed to descriptor functions which access or
+operate on data, are checked to ensure that those operations are correctly
+specified and that no data outside the data area represented by the descriptor
+is accessed or changed.</p>
+<p>It is the programmer’s responsibility to ensure that all accesses to descriptor
+data are within bounds and that descriptors are sufficiently large to contain
+their data, either by making the original allocation large enough at program
+compile time or by dynamically allocating the descriptor at run-time.</p>
+<p>An illegal data access raises an exception, known as a panic, causing immediate
+program termination. In this event, it can be assumed that no illegal access
+of memory has taken place and that no data has been moved or damaged.</p>
+<p>The Format() function which operates on descriptor data is the only case
+where a program is offered the opportunity to handle a potential exception.</p>
