Arguments

 

destination-string

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

   Destination string to which STR$APPEND appends the source string.
   The destination-string argument is the address of a descriptor
   pointing to the destination string. This destination string
   must be dynamic or varying length. The maximum length of the
   destination string for a 32-bit descriptor is 2**16-1, or 65,535,
   bytes.

   On Alpha systems, the maximum length of the destination string
   for all 64-bit descriptor classes, except varying-length strings,
   is 2**64-1 bytes. The maximum length of a varying-length string
   is 2**16-1 for both 32-bit and 64-bit descriptors.
 

source-string

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

   Source string that STR$APPEND appends to the end of the
   destination string. The source-string argument is the address
   of a descriptor pointing to this source string.
