Arguments

 

condition-value

   OpenVMS usage:cond_value
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by value

   OpenVMS 32-bit condition value. The condition-value argument is
   an unsigned longword that contains this condition value.

   The VSI OpenVMS Programming Concepts Manual explains the format of
   an OpenVMS condition value.
 

condition-argument

   OpenVMS usage:varying_arg
   type:         unspecified
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by value

   As many arguments as are required to process the exception
   specified by condition-value. Note that these arguments are
   also used as FAO (formatted ASCII output) arguments to format
   a message.

   The VSI OpenVMS Programming Concepts Manual explains the message
   format.
 

condition-value-n

   OpenVMS usage:cond_value
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by value

   OpenVMS 32-bit condition value. The optional condition-value-n
   argument is an unsigned longword that contains this condition
   value. The calling routine can specify additional conditions to
   be processed by specifying condition-value-2 through condition-
   value-n, with each condition value followed by any arguments
   required to process the condition specified. However, the total
   number of arguments in the call to LIB$SIGNAL must not exceed
   253.

   an OpenVMS condition value.
 

condition-argument-n

   OpenVMS usage:varying_arg
   type:         unspecified
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by value

   As many arguments as are required to create the message reporting
   the exception specified by condition-value-n.

   format.
