Arguments

 

source-string

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

   Source string to be translated and moved by LIB$MOVTUC. The
   source-string argument is the address of a descriptor pointing
   to this source string.
 

stop-character

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

   Stop character that causes LIB$MOVTUC to stop translating the
   source string. The stop-character argument is the address of a
   descriptor pointing to a string. The first character of this
   string is used as the stop character. The length of this string
   is not checked. During the translation, LIB$MOVTUC accesses each
   character in the source string and uses it as an index into the
   translation table. If this translated character is the specified
   stop character, translation stops, and stop-character is not
   translated.
 

translation-table

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

   Translation table used by LIB$MOVTUC. The translation-table
   argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the
   translation table string. The translation table string is assumed
   to be 256 characters long.

   You can use any of the translation tables included in the
   Description section of LIB$MOVTC, or you can create your own.
   When using a translation table supplied by VSI, the names LIB$AB_
   xxx_yyy represent the addresses of the 256-byte translation
   tables, and can be accessed as external (string) variables. If
   a particular language cannot generate descriptors for external
   strings, then they must be created manually.
 

destination-string

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

   Destination string into which LIB$MOVTUC writes the translated
   source-string. The destination-string argument is the address of
   a descriptor pointing to this destination string.
 

fill-character

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

   Character used to pad source-string to the length of destination-
   string. The fill-character argument is the address of a
   descriptor pointing to a string. The first character of this
   string is used as the fill character. The length of this string
   is not checked and fill-character is not translated.

   If the fill character is included, the remainder of the
   destination string (after the stop character) is filled with the
   specified fill character. If it is not included, the remainder of
   the destination string remains unchanged.
