Arguments

 

varying-input-value

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

   Unsigned byte, word, or longword that OTS$CVT_L_TB converts to
   an unsigned decimal representation in an ASCII text string.
   (The value of the input-value-size argument determines whether
   varying-input-value is a byte, word, or longword.) The varying-
   input-value argument is the address of the unsigned integer.
 

fixed-length-resultant-string

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

   ASCII text string that OTS$CVT_L_TB creates when it converts the
   integer value. The fixed-length-resultant-string argument is the
   address of a descriptor pointing to this ASCII text string. The
   string is assumed to be of fixed length (CLASS_S descriptor).
 

number-of-digits

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

   Minimum number of digits in the binary representation to be
   generated. The number-of-digits argument is a signed longword
   containing this minimum number. If the minimum number of digits
   is omitted, the default is 1. If the actual number of significant
   digits is less than the minimum number of digits, leading zeros
   are produced. If the minimum number of digits is zero and the
   value of the integer to be converted is also zero, OTS$CVT_L_TB
   creates a blank string.
 

input-value-size

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

   Size of the integer to be converted, in bytes. The input-value-
   size argument is a signed longword containing the byte size. This
   is an optional argument. If the size is omitted, the default is 4
   (longword).
