destination-string

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

   Destination string into which STR$ELEMENT copies the selected

   to the delimiter string. The delimiter-string argument must be
   exactly one character long.
 

source-string

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       read only
