VMS Help RTL Routines, LIB$, LIB$MOVC3  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Move Characters routine makes the VAX MOVC3 instruction
    available as a callable routine. The source item is moved to
    the destination item. Overlap of the source and destination items
    does not affect the result.

    Format

      LIB$MOVC3  word-integer-length ,source ,destination

    None.
