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

    The Copy Source String Passed by Reference to Destination
    String routine copies a source string passed by reference to a
    destination string, passed by descriptor.

    Format

      LIB$SCOPY_R_DX  word-integer-source-length ,source-string

                      ,destination-string

1 - Corresponding JSB Entry Point

      LIB$SCOPY_R_DX6

2 - Returns

    OpenVMS usage:cond_value
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       write only
    mechanism:    by value

3 - Arguments

 word-integer-source-length

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

    Length of the source string in bytes. The  word-integer-source-
    length argument is the address of an unsigned word that contains
    the length of the source string.

 source-string

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

    Source string to be copied to the destination string by
    LIB$SCOPY_R_DX. The source-string argument is the address of
    this source string.

 destination-string

    OpenVMS usage:char_string
    type:         character string
    access:       write only
