- Hi.
-
-
-
- Would some kind soul take pity on me and please (PLEASE?!) tell
- me exactly how to create and map global sections from a C program
- under VMS?
-
- I've got an example in FORTRAN, but it makes use of some hidden
- file manipulation stuff by using
- OPEN(...,USEROPEN=MYOPEN...)
- which sets up the FAB, RAB and whatever else. There does not seem
- to be an equivalent mechanism in C so I have to do the initialization
- myself. There are a million fields/flags/whatevers to set in this
- structure and I can't seem to make it work.
-
- I've tried translating both the fortran version and the MACRO
- fragments from the SYSTEM SERVICES manual into C, then tweaking, but
- so far it doesn't work. I've looked through the C Manual, and the C
- RTL manual, both of which are silent on the issue. I am at a loss -
- I've searched the orange wall until I'm blue in the face but I remain
- clueless.
-
- Please help a poor soul in distress...
-
- Regards,
- John
