byte-count

   OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
   type:         longword integer (signed)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by value

   Byte count of the input ASCII text string. The byte-count

   of the input string.
 

numeric-string

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   ASCII text string representation of a decimal, hexadecimal, or
   octal number that LIB$CVT_xTB converts to binary representation.
   The numeric-string argument is the address of a character string
   containing this input string to be converted.

   LIB$CVT_xTB allows only an optional plus (+) or minus (-) sign
   followed by a string of decimal, hexadecimal, or octal characters
   appropriate to the routine being called.
 

result

   OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
   type:         longword integer (signed)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Binary representation of the input string. The result argument is
   the address of a signed longword integer containing the converted
   string.
