Arguments

 

symbol

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

   Name of the symbol to be defined or modified by LIB$SET_SYMBOL.
   The symbol argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to
   this symbol string. If you redefine a previously defined CLI
   symbol, the symbol value is modified to the new value that you
   provide.

   The symbol name is converted to uppercase and trailing blanks are
   removed before use. The symbol argument must begin with a letter,
   a digit, a dollar sign ($),  a hyphen (-), or an underscore (_).
   The maximum length of symbol is 255 characters.
 

value-string

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

   Value to be given to the symbol. The value-string argument is the
   address of a descriptor pointing to this value string.

   Trailing blanks are not removed from the value string before use.
   The maximum length of value-string is 1024 characters. Integer
   values are not allowed; LIB$SET_SYMBOL is intended to set string
   CLI symbols, not integer CLI symbols.
 

table-type-indicator

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

   Indicator of the table that will contain the defined symbol. The
   table-type-indicator argument is the address of a signed longword
   integer that is this table indicator.

   If omitted, the local symbol table is used. The following are
   possible values for table-type-indicator:

   Symbolic Name        Value  Table Used

   LIB$K_CLI_LOCAL_     1      Local symbol table
   SYM
   LIB$K_CLI_GLOBAL_    2      Global symbol table
   SYM
