The Get Digit Separator Symbol routine returns the system's digit separator symbol. Format LIB$DIGIT_SEP digit-separator-string [,resultant-length]
1 – Returns
OpenVMS usage:cond_value type: longword (unsigned) access: write only mechanism: by value
2 – Arguments
digit-separator-string OpenVMS usage:char_string type: character string access: write only mechanism: by descriptor Digit separator symbol returned by LIB$DIGIT_SEP. The digit- separator-string argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the digit separator. resultant-length OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned type: word (unsigned) access: write only mechanism: by reference Number of characters written into digit-separator-string, not counting padding in the case of a fixed-length string. The resultant-length argument is the address of an unsigned word containing the length of the digit separator symbol. If the input string is truncated to the size specified in the digit- separator-string descriptor, resultant-length is set to this size. Therefore, resultant-length can always be used by the calling program to access a valid substring of digit-separator- string.
