VMS Help RMS, RMS Control Block Macros, $XABALL STORE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The $XABALL_STORE macro moves user-specified values into fields
    of the specified XABALL. The expanded $XABALL_STORE code executes
    at run time on a previously initialized (allocated) XABALL, in
    contrast to the $XABALL macro, which initializes a XABALL at
    assembly time. The $XABALL_STORE macro must reside in a code
    program section.

    Format
