destination-string
OpenVMS usage:char_string
type: character string
access: write only
mechanism: by descriptor
Destination string into which STR$REPLACE writes the new string
created when it replaces the substring. The destination-
string argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the
destination string.
source-string
OpenVMS usage:char_string
type: character string
access: read only
mechanism: by descriptor
Source string. The source-string argument is the address of a
descriptor pointing to the source string.
start-position
OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
type: longword (signed)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference for CALL entry point, by value for JSB
entry point
Position in the source string at which the substring that
STR$REPLACE replaces begins. The start-position argument is the
address of a signed longword containing the starting position.
The position is relative to the start of the source string.
end-position
OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
type: longword (signed)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference for CALL entry point, by value for JSB
entry point
Position in the source string at which the substring that
STR$REPLACE replaces ends. The end-position argument is the
address of a signed longword containing the ending position.
The position is relative to the start of the source string.
replacement-string
OpenVMS usage:char_string
type: character string
access: read only
mechanism: by descriptor
Replacement string with which STR$REPLACE replaces the substring.
The replacement-string argument is the address of a descriptor
pointing to this replacement string. The value of replacement-
string must be equal to end-position minus start-position.
