/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb RTL Routines, LIB$, LIB$SYS_FAOL_64, Arguments  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 character-string

    OpenVMS usage:char_string
    type:         character string
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by descriptor

    ASCII control string, consisting of the fixed text of the output
    string and FAO directives. The character-string argument contains
    the address of a descriptor pointing to this control string.

 resultant-length

    OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
    type:         word (unsigned)
    access:       write only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Length of the output string. The resultant-length argument
    contains the address of an unsigned word integer that is this
    length.

 resultant-string

    OpenVMS usage:char_string
    type:         character string
    access:       write only
    mechanism:    by descriptor

    Fully formatted output string returned by LIB$SYS_FAOL_64. The
    resultant-string argument contains the address of a descriptor
    pointing to this output string.

 directive-argument-address

    OpenVMS usage:address
    type:         quadword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    unspecified

    Directive arguments. The directive-argument-address arguments are
    contained in an array of unsigned quadword directive arguments.
    Depending on the directive, a directive-argument-address argument
    can be a value to be converted, the address of the string to be
    inserted, or a length or argument count. The passing mechanism
    for each of these arguments should be the one expected by the
    $FAOL_64 system service.
