VMS Help RTL Routines, STR$, STR$GET1_DX_64  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    (Alpha only.) The Allocate One Dynamic String routine allocates
    a specified number of bytes of virtual memory to a specified
    dynamic string descriptor.

    Format

      STR$GET1_DX_64  quad-integer-length ,character-string

1 - Corresponding JSB Entry Point

      STR$GET1_DX_R4

2 - Returns

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

3 - Arguments

 quad-integer-length

    OpenVMS usage:quadword_unsigned
    type:         quadword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Number of bytes that STR$GET1_DX_64 allocates. The quad-integer-
    length argument is the address of an unsigned quadword containing
    this number.

 character-string

    OpenVMS usage:char_string
    type:         character string
    access:       modify
    mechanism:    by descriptor

    Dynamic string descriptor to which STR$GET1_DX_64 allocates
    the area. The character-string argument is the address of the
    descriptor. The descriptor's CLASS field is checked.
