Arguments

 

destination-string

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

   Destination string into which STR$DUPL_CHAR writes repetition-
   count copies of the input character. The destination-string
   argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the
   destination string. 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 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.
 

repetition-count

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

   Number of times ASCII-character is duplicated; this is an
   optional argument (if omitted, the default is 1). The repetition-
   count argument is the address of a signed longword containing the
   number.
 

ASCII-character

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

   ASCII character that STR$DUPL_CHAR writes repetition-count times
   into the destination string. The ASCII-character argument is the
   address of a character string containing this character. This is
   an optional argument; if omitted, the default is a space.
