converts the signed integer to a decimal ASCII text string.
The number-of-digits argument is a signed longword containing

size argument is a signed longword containing this value size. If
the size is omitted, the default is 4 (longword).
On VAX systems, the value size must be 1, 2, or 4. If value
size is 1 or 2, the value is sign-extended to a longword before
conversion.
On Alpha systems, the value size must be 1, 2, 4, or 8. If the
value is 1, 2, or 4, the value is sign-extended to a quadword

descriptor).
If bit 0 of longword-integer-value is set, OTS$CVT_L_TL stores

F. In either case, it fills the remaining characters of fixed-
length-resultant-string with blanks.

the actual number of significant digits in the octal ASCII text
string is less than the minimum number of digits, OTS$CVT_L_TO
inserts leading zeros into the output string. If number-of-digits

mechanism: by value
Scale factor. The scale-factor argument contains the value of
the scale factor. If bit 6 of the flags-value argument is clear,
the resultant value is divided by 10**scale-factor unless the

factor is always applied. If the scale factor is omitted, the
default is zero.
flags-value
OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by value
User-supplied flags. The flags-value argument contains the user-
supplied flags described in the following table:

extension-bits (D-, F-floating)
OpenVMS usage:byte_unsigned
type: byte (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by reference
extension-bits (G-, H-floating)
OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
type: word (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by reference
Extra precision bits. The extension-bits argument is the address
of a word containing the extra precision bits. If extension-
bits is present, floating-point-value is not rounded, and the
first n bits after truncation are returned left-justified in this
argument, as follows:
Number
of Bits
Routine Returned Data Type
OTS$CVT_T_D 8 Byte (unsigned)
OTS$CVT_T_F 8 Byte (unsigned)
OTS$CVT_T_G 11 Word (unsigned)
OTS$CVT_T_H 15 Word (unsigned)
A value represented by extension bits is suitable for use as the
extension operand in an EMOD instruction.
The extra precision bits returned for H-floating may not be
precise because OTS$CVT_T_H carries its calculations to only
128 bits. However the error should be small.

Common ASCII text representations of a FORTRAN-77 logical are
.TRUE., .FALSE., T, t, F, and f. In practice, an OTS$CVT_TL_L
input string is valid if it adheres to the following syntax:
<blanks>
or
[<blanks>][.]{T t F f}[<characters>]
One of the letters T, t, F, or f is required. Other elements in
the preceding syntax are defined as follows:
Term Description
blanks One or more blanks
characters One or more of any character
varying-output-value
OpenVMS usage:varying_arg
type: unspecified
access: write only
mechanism: by reference
Signed integer that OTS$CVT_TL_L creates when it converts the
ASCII text string. The varying-output-value argument is the
address of the signed integer. The value of the output-value-size
argument determines the size in bytes of the signed integer.
OTS$CVT_TL_L returns -1 as the contents of the varying-output-
value argument if the character denoted by "letter" is T or t.
Otherwise, OTS$CVT_TL_L sets varying-output-value to zero.
output-value-size
OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
type: longword (signed)
access: read only
mechanism: by value
Number of bytes to be occupied by the signed integer created
when OTS$CVT_TL_L converts the ASCII text string to an integer
value. The output-value-size argument contains a value that
equals the size in bytes of the output value. If output-value-
size contains a zero or a negative number, OTS$CVT_TL_L returns
an input conversion error.
On VAX systems, valid values for the output-value-size argument
are 1, 2, and 4. The value determines whether the integer value
that OTS$CVT_TL_L creates is a byte, word, or longword.
On Alpha systems, valid values for the output-value-size argument
are 1, 2, 4, and 8. This value determines whether the integer
value that OTS$CVT_TL_L creates is a byte, word, longword, or
quadword.
For VAX and Alpha systems, if you omit the output-value-size
argument, the default is 4 (longword).
