$GET

   The Get service retrieves a record from a file.

                                  NOTE

      When you invoke the Get service, RMS takes control of the
      record buffer and may modify it. RMS returns the record size
      and guarantees the contents only from where it accessed the
      record to the completion of the record.

                        RAB64 USERS (ALPHA ONLY)

      On Alpha systems, RAB64 can replace the RAB or RAB prefix
      wherever it is used with the Get service on OpenVMS Alpha
      systems.
