Librarian record access may be set to move mode (the default set by LBR$SET_MOVE) or locate mode. The setting affects the operation of the LBR$GET_RECORD routine. If move mode is set (the default), LBR$GET_RECORD copies the requested record to the specified user buffer. If locate mode is set, the record is not copied. Instead, the outbufdes descriptor is set to reference the internal LBR subroutine buffer that contains the record.
