The Move Characters with Fill routine makes the VAX MOVC5 instruction available as a callable routine. The source item is moved to the destination item. Overlap of the source and destination items does not affect the result. Format LIB$MOVC5 word-integer-source-length ,source [,fill] ,word-integer-destination-length ,destination
1 – Returns
None.
2 – Arguments
word-integer-source-length OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned type: word (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by reference Number of bytes in the source item. The word-integer-source- length argument is the address of an unsigned word that contains this number of bytes. The maximum length of source is 65,535 bytes. source OpenVMS usage:unspecified type: unspecified access: read only mechanism: by reference Item to be moved by LIB$MOVC5. The source argument is the address of this item. If word-integer-source-length is zero, indicating that destination is to be entirely filled by the fill character, then source is ignored by LIB$MOVC5. fill OpenVMS usage:byte_signed type: byte integer (signed) access: read only mechanism: by reference Character used to pad source to the length of destination. The fill argument is the address of a signed byte integer that contains this fill character. If word-integer-destination-length is less than or equal to word-integer-source-length, fill is unused and may be omitted. word-integer-destination-length OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned type: word (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by reference Length of destination in bytes. The word-integer-destination- length argument is the address of an unsigned word that contains this number of bytes. The maximum value of word-integer- destination-length is 65,535 bytes. destination OpenVMS usage:unspecified type: unspecified access: write only mechanism: by reference Item into which source will be moved. The destination argument is the address of this item.
