word-integer-length
OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
type: word (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference
Number of bytes of dynamic virtual memory to be allocated by
LIB$SGET1_DD. The word-integer-length argument is the address of
an unsigned word that contains this number. The amount of storage
allocated may be rounded up automatically.
descriptor-part
OpenVMS usage:quadword_unsigned
type: quadword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by reference
Descriptor of the dynamic string to which LIB$SGET1_DD allocates
the dynamic virtual memory. The descriptor-part argument contains
the address of this descriptor.
The descriptor-part argument must contain the address of a
dynamic string descriptor; LIB$SGET1_DD returns an unpredictable
result if any other type of descriptor is specified by this
argument.
The descriptor CLASS field is not checked but is set to dynamic
(2). The LENGTH field is set to word-integer-length, and the
POINTER field points to the string area allocated.
