An argument to pass by descriptor. (a or n)

Discussion

^DESCR passes an argument by descriptor.

The result of expression is passed by descriptor. A descriptor is a memory block that contains information about the associated variable or literal.

Because Synergy DBL passes arguments by descriptor by default, ^DESCR is available only for consistency with the other methods of passing arguments (^VAL, ^REF, and ^XTRNL).
