   1.$ UIC_INT= F$IDENTIFIER("SLOANE","NAME_TO_NUMBER")
     $ SHOW SYMBOL UIC_INT
       UIC_INT = 15728665   Hex = 00F00019  Octal = 00074000031
     $ UIC = F$FAO("!%U",UIC_INT)
     $ SHOW SYMBOL UIC
       UIC = [360,031]

     This example uses the F$IDENTIFIER to convert the member
     identifier from the UIC [MANAGERS,SLOANE] to an integer. The
     F$IDENTIFIER function shows that the member identifier SLOANE
     is equivalent to the integer 15728665. Note that you must
     specify the identifier SLOANE using uppercase letters.

     To convert this octal number to a standard numeric user
     identification code (UIC), use the F$FAO function with the
     !%U directive. (This directive converts a longword to a UIC in
     named format.) In this example, the member identifier SLOANE is
     equivalent to the numeric UIC [360,031].

   2.$ UIC_INT = (%O31 + (%X10000 * %O360))
     $ UIC_NAME = F$IDENTIFIER(UIC_INT,"NUMBER_TO_NAME")
     $ SHOW SYMBOL UIC_NAME
       UIC_NAME = "ODONNELL"

     This example obtains the alphanumeric identifier associated
     with the numeric UIC [360,031]. First, you must obtain the
     longword integer that corresponds to the UIC [360,031]. To
     do this, place the member number into the low-order word.
     Place the group number into the high-order word. Next, use the
     F$IDENTIFIER function to return the named identifier associated
     with the integer.
