─────FAR Attribute──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     FAR has two different effects, depending on the kind of parameter
     it refers to:
 
     When used with formal arguments, the FAR attribute specifies that
     the argument is to be passed using a segmented address. When used
     with variables, it specifies that the variable is allocated in
     far data areas.
 
     Restrictions: Not allowed in ENTRY statements
