Good question! However, in this case you might wnana use
CHR$(5,1,2,3,4,5)  and refer to it using VARPTR32.
 
What exactly is your code supposed to do? What you have there simply
loads all the byte values in the $INLINE statement in the X? byte
variable and immediately discarding the contens as they are loaded over
on the next for|next loop. One question... the @Data_PTR[Idx%] notation
(with the [Idx%] index ref. behind it) is not available in PB v3.2 (only
in 3.5), right?
