currency-string OpenVMS usage:char_string type: character string access: write only mechanism: by descriptor Currency symbol. The currency-string argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the currency symbol. resultant-length OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned type: word (unsigned) access: write only mechanism: by reference Number of characters that LIB$CURRENCY has written into the currency-string argument, not counting padding in the case of a fixed-length string. The resultant-length argument is the address of an unsigned word containing the length of the currency symbol. If the input string is truncated to the size specified in the currency-string argument, resultant-length is set to this size. Therefore, resultant-length can always be used by the calling program to access a valid substring of currency-string.
