fixed-or-dynamic-input-string
OpenVMS usage:char_string
type: character string
access: read only
mechanism: by descriptor
Input string containing the string representation of an unsigned
binary value that OTS$CVT_TB_L converts to an unsigned integer
value. The fixed-or-dynamic-input-string argument is the
address of a descriptor pointing to the input string. The valid
input characters are blanks and the digits 0 and 1. No sign is
permitted.
varying-output-value
OpenVMS usage:varying_arg
type: unspecified
access: write only
mechanism: by reference
Unsigned integer of specified size that OTS$CVT_TB_L creates
when it converts the ASCII text string. The varying-output-value
argument is the address of the integer. The value of the output-
value-size argument determines the size in bytes of the output
value.
output-value-size
OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
type: longword (signed)
access: read only
mechanism: by value
Arbitrary number of bytes to be occupied by the unsigned integer
output value. The output-value-size argument contains a value
that equals the size in bytes of the output value. If the value
of output-value-size is zero or a negative number, OTS$CVT_TB_L
returns an input conversion error. If you omit the output-value-
size argument, the default is 4 (longword).
flags-value
OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by value
User-supplied flag that OTS$CVT_TB_L uses to determine how
to interpret blanks within the input string. The flags-value
argument contains this user-supplied flag.
OTS$CVT_TB_L defines the flag as follows:
Bit Action if Set Action if Clear
0 Ignore blanks. Interpret blanks as zeros.
If you omit the flags-value argument, OTS$CVT_TB_L defaults all
flags to clear.
