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 first operand's sign. 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 a
   signed longword containing this 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 numeric string of the
   first operand. 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 sign of the second operand.
   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
   a signed longword containing this 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 numeric
   string. The string must be an unsigned decimal number.
 

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 this 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. The
   string is an unsigned decimal number.
