copies a source string passed by descriptor to a destination string.
Format
LIB$SCOPY_DXDX source-string ,destination-string
Corresponding JSB Entry Point
LIB$SCOPY_DXDX6
RETURNS
| OpenVMS usage: |
cond_value |
| type: |
longword (unsigned) |
| access: |
write only |
| mechanism: |
by value |
Arguments
source-string
| OpenVMS usage: |
char_string |
| type: |
character string |
| access: |
read only |
| mechanism: |
by descriptor |
Source string to be copied to the destination string by LIB$SCOPY_DXDX.
The source-string argument contains the address of a
descriptor pointing to this source string. The descriptor class can be
unspecified, fixed-length, decimal string, array, noncontiguous array,
varying, or dynamic.
destination-string
| OpenVMS usage: |
char_string |
| type: |
character string |
| access: |
write only |
| mechanism: |
by descriptor |
Destination string to which the source string is copied. The
destination-string argument contains the address of a
descriptor pointing to this destination string.
The following actions occur depending on the class of the destination
string's descriptor:
| Descriptor Class |
Action |
|
S, Z, SD, A, NCA
|
Copy the source string. If needed, space-fill or truncate on the right.
|
|
D
|
If the area specified by the destination descriptor is large enough to
contain the source string, copy the source string and set the new
length in the destination descriptor. If the area specified is not
large enough, return the previous space allocation (if any) and then
dynamically allocate the amount of space needed. Copy the source string
and set the new length and address in the destination descriptor.
|
|
VS
|
Copy source string to destination string up to the limit of the
descriptor MAXSTRLEN field with no padding. Readjust the current length
(CURLEN) field to the actual number of bytes copied.
|
Description
LIB$SCOPY_DXDX returns all condition values as a status; truncation is
a qualified success condition value (bit 0 set to 1).
In addition, an equivalent JSB entry point is available, with R0
containing the first argument and R1 containing the second.
Condition Values Returned
|
SS$_NORMAL
|
Routine successfully completed. All characters in the input string were
copied to the destination string.

LIB$SET_LOGICAL
The Set Logical Name routine requests the calling process's command
language interpreter (CLI) to define or redefine a supervisor-mode
process logical name. It provides the same function as the DCL command
DEFINE.
Format
LIB$SET_LOGICAL logical-name [,value-string] [,table] [,attributes]
[,item-list]
Either the item-list or value-string
argument must be specified. If both item-list and
value-string are specified, the
value-string argument is ignored.
RETURNS
| OpenVMS usage: |
cond_value |
| type: |
longword (unsigned) |
| access: |
write only |
| mechanism: |
by value |
Arguments
logical-name
| OpenVMS usage: |
logical_name |
| type: |
character string |
| access: |
read only |
| mechanism: |
by descriptor |
Logical name to be defined or redefined. The
logical-name argument contains the address of a
descriptor pointing to this logical name string. The maximum length of
a logical name is 255 characters. Note that logical names are case
sensitive.
value-string
| OpenVMS usage: |
char_string |
| type: |
character string |
| access: |
read only |
| mechanism: |
by descriptor |
Value to be given to the logical name. The
value-string argument contains the address of a
descriptor pointing to this value string. The maximum length of a
logical name value is 255 characters.
If omitted, an item list must be present to specify the values of the
logical name.
table
| OpenVMS usage: |
char_string |
| type: |
character string |
| access: |
read only |
| mechanism: |
by descriptor |
Name of the table in which to create the logical name. The
table argument contains the address of a descriptor
pointing to the logical name table. If no table is specified,
LNM$PROCESS is used as the default.
attributes
| OpenVMS usage: |
mask_longword |
| type: |
longword (unsigned) |
| access: |
read only |
| mechanism: |
by reference |
Logical name or translation attributes. The attributes
argument is the address of a longword bit mask that contains the
logical name or translation attributes.
LNM$M_CONFINE and LNM$M_NO_ALIAS are currently available logical name
attributes. See the description of the $CRELNM system service in the
OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual for definitions of LNM$M_CONFINE and LNM$M_NO_ALIAS. If
omitted, no special logical name attribute is established.
If no item-list is specified, the translation
attributes LNM$M_CONCEALED and LNM$M_TERMINAL may be specified. See the
description of the ASSIGN command in the OpenVMS DCL Dictionary for definitions
of these attributes. If an item-list is specified, it
will contain the translation attributes for each equivalence string in
the attribute.
item-list
| OpenVMS usage: |
item_list_3 |
| type: |
unspecified |
| access: |
read only |
| mechanism: |
by reference, array reference |
Item list describing the equivalence names for this logical name. The
item-list argument contains the address of an array
that contains this item list. If item-list is not
specified, the logical name will have only one value, as specified in
the value-string argument. Item codes for use with
this item list are included in libraries supplied by Compaq in module
$LNMDEF.
Either value-string or item-list must
be specified. If neither is specified, the LIB$_INVARG error is
produced. If both value-string and
item-list are specified, the
value-string argument is ignored.
If item-list is specified, only logical name
attributes are permitted. Translation attributes appear in the item
list.
The item-list argument is needed only when you want to
create multiple equivalence strings for a single logical name.
Description
If the optional table argument is defined, the logical
name will be placed in the table specified by the
table argument; otherwise, the logical name is placed
in the LNM$PROCESS table.
Unlike the system services $CRELOG and $CRELNM, LIB$SET_LOGICAL does
not require the caller to be executing in supervisor mode to define a
supervisor-mode logical name. Supervisor-mode logical names are not
deleted when an image exits. A program can obtain the current value of
any logical name by calling the system service $TRNLNM. For more
information on logical names, see the OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual.
This routine is supported for use with the DCL and MCR CLIs. If an
image is run directly as a subprocess or as a detached process, there
is no CLI present to perform this function. In that case, the error
status LIB$_NOCLI is returned.
This routine does not support the DCL DEFINE and DEASSIGN commands'
special side-effect of opening and closing a process-permanent file if
the logical name SYS$OUTPUT is specified.
See the OpenVMS DCL Dictionary for a description of the DEFINE command.
Condition Values Returned
|
SS$_NORMAL
|
Routine successfully completed.
|
|
SS$_ACCVIO
|
Access violation. The logical name or its value could not be read.

Bad argument.
|
|
SS$_BUFFEROVF
|
Routine successfully completed; however, a buffer overflow occurred.
|
|
SS$_INSFMEM
|
Insufficient dynamic memory.
|
|
SS$_IVLOGNAM
|
Invalid logical name. The logical name or its value contained more than
255 characters.
|
|
SS$_IVLOGTAB
|
Invalid logical name table.
|
|
SS$_NOPRIV
|
No privileges for attempted operation.
|
|
SS$_SUPERSEDE

Logical name translation exceeded allowed depth.
|
|
LIB$_INVARG
|
Neither the
value-string nor the
item-list argument was specified.
|
|
LIB$_INVSTRDES
|
Invalid string descriptor.
|
|
LIB$_NOCLI
|
No CLI present to perform function. The calling process did not have a
CLI to perform the function or the CLI did not support the request
type. Note that an image run as a subprocess or detached process does
not have a CLI.
|
|
LIB$_UNECLIERR
|
Unexpected CLI error. The CLI returned an error status which was not
recognized. This error may be caused by use of a nonstandard CLI. If
this error occurs while using the DCL command language interpreter,
please report the problem to your Compaq support representative.
|
Example
|
!+
! Initialize value for logical name MY_LOG
!-
SYMBOL$ = 'MY_LOG'
SETVAL$ = 'OFF'
CALL LIB$SET_LOGICAL (SYMBOL$, SETVAL$)
END
|
The BASIC program above sets the logical MY_LOG to OFF. This value can
be displayed after the program is run with SHOW LOGICAL as follows:
$ SHOW LOGICAL MY_LOG
"MY_LOG" = "OFF" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
