fixed-or-dynamic-input-string
OpenVMS usage:char_string
type: character string
access: read only
mechanism: by descriptor, fixed-length or dynamic string
Input string containing the string representation of an unsigned
hexadecimal value that OTS$CVT_TZ_L converts to an unsigned
integer. The fixed-or-dynamic-input-string argument is the
address of a descriptor pointing to the input string. The valid
input characters are blanks, the digits 0 through 7, and the
letters A through F. Letters can be uppercase or lowercase. No
sign is permitted.
varying-output-value
OpenVMS usage:varying_arg
type: unspecified
access: write only
mechanism: by reference
Unsigned integer of specified size that OTS$CVT_TZ_L creates
when it converts the ASCII text string. The varying-output-value
argument is the address of the unsigned integer. The value of the
output-value-size argument determines the size in bytes of the
output value.
output-value-size
OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
type: longword (signed)
access: read only
mechanism: by value
Arbitrary number of bytes to be occupied by the unsigned integer
output value. The output-value-size argument contains a value
that equals the size in bytes of the output value. If the value
of output-value-size is zero or a negative number, OTS$CVT_TZ_L
returns an input conversion error. If you omit the output-value-
size argument, the default is 4 (longword).
flags-value
OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by value
User-supplied flags that OTS$CVT_TZ_L uses to determine how
to interpret blanks within the input string. The flags-value
argument contains these user-supplied flags as described in the
following table:
Bit Action if Set Action if Clear
0 Ignore all Interpret blanks as zeros.
blanks.
If you omit the flags-value argument, OTS$CVT_TZ_L defaults the
flag to clear.
