VMS Help RTL Routines, LIB$, LIB$CALLG  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Call Routine with General Argument List routine calls a
    routine with an argument list specified as an array of longwords,
    the first of which is a count of the remaining longwords.
    LIB$CALLG is a callable version of the VAX CALLG instruction.

    Format

      LIB$CALLG  argument-list ,user-procedure

1 - Returns

    OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       write only

    Return value, if any, of the called routine, unchanged by
    LIB$CALLG.
