Arguments

 

word-integer-length

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

   Number of bytes of dynamic virtual memory to be allocated by
   LIB$SGET1_DD. The word-integer-length argument is the address of
   an unsigned word that contains this number. The amount of storage
   allocated may be rounded up automatically.
 

descriptor-part

   OpenVMS usage:quadword_unsigned
   type:         quadword (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Descriptor of the dynamic string to which LIB$SGET1_DD allocates
   the dynamic virtual memory. The descriptor-part argument contains
   the address of this descriptor.

   The descriptor-part argument must contain the address of a
   dynamic string descriptor; LIB$SGET1_DD returns an unpredictable
   result if any other type of descriptor is specified by this
   argument.

   The descriptor CLASS field is not checked but is set to dynamic
   (2). The LENGTH field is set to word-integer-length, and the
   POINTER field points to the string area allocated.
