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

    The Enable or Disable Decimal Overflow Detection routine enables
    or disables decimal overflow detection for the calling routine
    activation. The previous decimal overflow setting is returned.

    This routine is available on OpenVMS Alpha systems in translated
    form and is applicable to translated VAX images only.
