Arguments

 

asign

   OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Sign of the first operand. The asign argument is the address of
   an unsigned longword containing the sign of the first operand.
   A value of 0 is considered positive; a value of 1 is considered
   negative.
 

aexp

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

   Power of 10 by which adigits is multiplied to get the absolute
   value of the first operand. The aexp argument is the address of
   the first operand's exponent.
 

adigits

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

   First operand's numeric text string. The adigits argument is the
   address of a descriptor pointing to the first operand's numeric
   string. The string must be an unsigned decimal number.
 

bsign

   OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Sign of the second operand. The bsign argument is the address
   of an unsigned longword containing the second operand's string.
   A value of 0 is considered positive; a value of 1 is considered
   negative.
 

bexp

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

   Power of 10 by which bdigits is multiplied to get the absolute
   value of the second operand. The bexp argument is the address of
   the second operand's exponent.
 

bdigits

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

   Second operand's numeric text string. The bdigits argument is the
   address of a descriptor pointing to the second operand's number
   string. The string must be an unsigned decimal number.
 

total-digits

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

   Number of digits to the right of the decimal point. The total-
   digits argument is the address of a signed longword containing
   the number of total digits. STR$DIVIDE uses this number to carry
   out the division.
 

round-truncate-indicator

   OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Indicator of whether STR$DIVIDE is to round or truncate the
   result; a value of 0 means truncate; a value of 1 means round.
   The round-truncate-indicator argument is the address of a
   longword bit mask containing this indicator.
 

csign

   OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Sign of the result. The csign argument is the address of an
   unsigned longword containing the sign of the result. A value
   of 0 is considered positive; a value of 1 is considered negative.
 

cexp

   OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
   type:         longword (signed)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Power of 10 by which cdigits is multiplied to get the absolute
   value of the result. The cexp argument is the address of a signed
   longword containing the exponent.
 

cdigits

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

   Result's numeric text string. The cdigits argument is the address
   of a descriptor pointing to the numeric string of the result.
   This string is an unsigned decimal number.
