user-context

   OpenVMS usage:context
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       modify
   mechanism:    by reference

   User context that retains the translation context over multiple
   calls to this routine. The user-context argument is the address
   of an unsigned longword that contains this context. The initial
   value of the context variable must be zero. Thereafter, the user
   program must not write to the cell.

   type:         longword (signed)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   The component of the context that is being initialized. The
   component argument is the address of a signed longword that
   indicates this component. Only one component can be initialized
   per call to LIB$INIT_DATE_TIME; these component codes are shown
   in the following list.

   o  LIB$K_MONTH_NAME

   o  LIB$K_MONTH_NAME_ABB

   o  LIB$K_FORMAT_MNEMONICS

   o  LIB$K_WEEKDAY_NAME

   o  LIB$K_WEEKDAY_NAME_ABB

   o  LIB$K_RELATIVE_DAY_NAME
 

   o  LIB$K_MERIDIEM_INDICATOR

   o  LIB$K_OUTPUT_FORMAT

   o  LIB$K_INPUT_FORMAT

   o  LIB$K_LANGUAGE

   type:         character string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   The characters that are to be used in formatting dates and times
   for input or output. The init-string argument is the address of a
