Discussion

The put_xarg_str function loads a string into a subroutine argument.

If the argument wasn’t passed, or if it’s a literal, the routine generates a trappable Synergy DBL error.

The argument’s field is loaded left-justified over blanks.

On OpenVMS, the functionality of put_xarg_str is available as str_to_dscr. See the xcallv.h file for details. Its prototype is

void str_to_dscr(DESCRIP*, char *string, int length)
