Arguments

 

section-name

   OpenVMS usage char_string
   type          character string
   access        read only
   mechanism     by descriptor
   Name of the global section you want to delete. The section-name
   argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to a character
   string containing the global section name.
 

memory-area

   OpenVMS usage vector_longword_unsigned
   type          longword (unsigned)
   access        read only
   mechanism     by reference, array reference
   The area of memory into which the global section that you want
   to delete is mapped. The memory-area argument is the address of a
   two-longword array containing, in order, the length in bytes and
   the starting virtual address of the area of memory.
 

flags

   OpenVMS usage mask_longword
   type          longword (unsigned)
   access        read only
   mechanism     by reference
   Bit mask specifying actions to be performed before deleting the
   global section. The flags argument is the address of a longword
   bit mask containing the flag. Valid values for flags are as
   follows:

   PPL$M_FLUSH     Writes the global section to disk before deleting
                   it.
   PPL$M_NOUNI     Identifies the global section as having a
                   nonunique name. By default, PPL$CREATE_SHARED_
                   MEMORY gives the specified global section a name
                   unique to the application by using PPL$UNIQUE_
                   NAME. If you specified this value to give the
                   global section a nonunique name when you called
                   PPL$CREATE_SHARED_MEMORY, you must also specify
                   it when you call PPL$DELETE_SHARED_MEMORY.
