The Get Digit Separator Symbol routine returns the system's digit
separator symbol.
Format
LIB$DIGIT_SEP digit-separator-string [,resultant-length]
OpenVMS usage:cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value
digit-separator-string
OpenVMS usage:char_string
type: character string
access: write only
mechanism: by descriptor
Digit separator symbol returned by LIB$DIGIT_SEP. The digit-
separator-string argument is the address of a descriptor pointing
to the digit separator.
resultant-length
OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
type: word (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by reference
Number of characters written into digit-separator-string, not
counting padding in the case of a fixed-length string. The
resultant-length argument is the address of an unsigned word
containing the length of the digit separator symbol. If the
input string is truncated to the size specified in the digit-
separator-string descriptor, resultant-length is set to this
size. Therefore, resultant-length can always be used by the
calling program to access a valid substring of digit-separator-
string.
