VMS Help CQUAL Routines, UTIL$CQUAL_FILE_MATCH, Arguments  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 context

    OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference
    The longword address that received the common file qualifier
    database address from a prior call to UTIL$CQUAL_FILE_PARSE.

 user_fab

    OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference
    The FAB address of the file to be evaluated. This FAB must point
    to a valid NAM or NAML block. If the file is open and the file
    header criteria are to be evaluated, the appropriate XABs (XABPRO
    or XABDAT) must be chained to the FAB and properly filled in by
    RMS. If the file is not open when this routine is called, then
    the XAB chain is not necessary, but may be present. This argument
    is optional. If it is not present, the file_name parameter must
    be present. Both arguments may not be present at the same time.

 file_name

    OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference
    The file name descriptor address of the file to be processed.
    This parameter can be used instead of the user_fab argument. Both
    arguments may not be present at the same time.

 prompt_string_1

    OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference
    Longword address of a prompt string descriptor. This prompt is
    used when prompting to a terminal device and the current prompt
    form is UTIL$K_CQF_SHORT.

 prompt_string_2

    OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by descriptor
    Longword address of a prompt string descriptor. This prompt is
    used when prompting to a terminal device and the current prompt
    form is UTIL$K_CQF_LONG.

 prompt_rtn

    OpenVMS usage:procedure
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       function call
    mechanism:    by value
    User-supplied longword routine address used for prompting and
    accepting input from the user. The user routine is responsible
    for end-of-file processing and must return RMS$_EOF when
    appropriate.

 current_form

    OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read write
    mechanism:    by reference
    This optional parameter supplies the initial prompt form
    displayed to the user. If it contains the value UTIL$K_CQF_
    UNSPECIFIED, then the form last requested by the user is used
    if that form is available. If there was no previous call to
    UTIL$CQUAL_FILE_MATCH, and the current_form is unspecified,
    UTIL$K_CQF_SHORT is assumed.

    When exiting UTIL$CQUAL_FILE_MATCH, the current_form parameter
    contains the last user requested prompt form. If a previous
    call to UTIL$CQUAL_FILE_MATCH requested quit processing or quit
    confirmation prompting, then this parameter is not modified.

 disable

    OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference
    Longword of bit flags. This optional parameter specifies which
    common file qualifiers are ignored in the current call to
    UTIL$CQUAL_FILE_MATCH. Qualifiers that cannot be ignored are
    /CREATED, /MODIFIED, /EXPIRED, and /BACKUP).
