Arguments

 

varying-input-value

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

   An unsigned integer that OTS$CVT_L_TU converts to an unsigned
   decimal representation in an ASCII text string. The varying-
   input-value argument is the address of the unsigned integer.

   On VAX systems, the integer can be an unsigned byte, word, or
   longword. (The value of the input-value-size argument determines
   whether varying-input-value is a byte, word, or longword.)

   On Alpha and I64 systems, the integer can be an unsigned byte,
   word, longword, or quadword. (The value of the input-value-size
   argument determines whether varying-input-value is a byte, word,
   longword, or quadword.)
 

fixed-length-resultant-string

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

   Output string that OTS$CVT_L_TU creates when it converts the
   integer value to unsigned decimal representation in an ASCII text
   string. The fixed-length-resultant-string argument is the address
   of a descriptor pointing to this ASCII text string.
 

number-of-digits

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

   Minimum number of digits in the ASCII text string that OTS$CVT_
   L_TU creates. The number-of-digits argument is a signed longword
   containing the minimum number. If the minimum number of digits is
   omitted, the default is 1.

   If the actual number of significant digits in the output string
   created is less than the minimum number, OTS$CVT_L_TU inserts
   leading zeros into the output string. If the minimum number of
   digits is zero and the integer value to be converted is also
   zero, OTS$CVT_L_TU writes a blank string to the output 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 this value size. If
   the size is omitted, the default is 4 (longword).

   On VAX systems, the value size must be 1, 2, or 4.

   On Alpha and I64 systems, the value size must be 1, 2, 4, or 8.
