Arguments

 

currency-string

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   Currency symbol. The currency-string argument is the address of a
   descriptor pointing to the currency symbol.
 

resultant-length

   OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
   type:         word (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Number of characters that LIB$CURRENCY has written into the
   currency-string argument, 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 currency symbol.
   If the input string is truncated to the size specified in the
   currency-string argument, resultant-length is set to this size.
   Therefore, resultant-length can always be used by the calling
   program to access a valid substring of currency-string.
