I believe this should be no problem. Effectivelym this call will set the
field's text pointer attribute to the address of "Y". Because this is a
literal (and, therefore, constant), it should be stored in your app's code
segment. This means the address should not change. When the field is
redrawn, it should be able to access this address with no problem.
That, at least, is my theory. Hope this helps.
