Arguments

 

character-string

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

   ASCII control string, consisting of the fixed text of the output
   string and FAO directives. The character-string argument contains
   the address of a descriptor pointing to this control string.
 

resultant-length

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

   Length of the output string. The resultant-length argument
   contains the address of an unsigned word integer that is this
   length.
 

resultant-string

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

   Fully formatted output string returned by LIB$SYS_FAOL. The
   resultant-string argument contains the address of a descriptor
   pointing to this output string.
 

directive-argument-address

   OpenVMS usage:address
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    unspecified

   Directive arguments. The directive-argument-address arguments are
   contained in an array of unsigned longword directive arguments.
   Depending on the directive, a directive-argument-address argument
   can be a value to be converted, the address of the string to be
   inserted, or a length or argument count. The passing mechanism
   for each of these arguments should be the one expected by the
   $FAOL system service.
