Hmmm...
BASIC was never designed or intended for anything else but the user program to mess with the global DATA pointer. For a start it's not safe - you could make it point anywhere. It's one of those things, like changing RAMTOP, that you just don't do from within your program. The BASIC view is that if it gets changed from outside the program then something has crashed.

I bet you write self-modifying code just to upset people. :)
