/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb CC, Messages, TEXTCHAR  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 Message        The CDD description for <name> specified that it is
                text 1; It has been translated into a type char.

 Description    When the CDD type "TEXT" is of length one, Compaq C
                will normally convert this to type "char" in order to
                be compatible with VAX C.  However, when the length
                of the CDD type "TEXT" is greater than one, the C
                type "array of char" is generated.  This means that
                CDD type "TEXT" will result in different C datatypes
                depending upon the length of the TEXT stored in the
                dictionary.

 User Action    No action is necessary as long as the type "char" is
                the desired datatype.
