2 – Returns

3 – Arguments
descriptor-count-value OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned type: longword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by value Number of adjacent descriptors to be flagged as having no allocated area (the descriptor's POINTER and LENGTH fields contain 0) and to have their allocated areas returned to free storage by OTS$SFREEN_DD. The descriptor-count-value argument is an unsigned longword containing this number. first-descriptor OpenVMS usage:quadword_unsigned type: quadword (unsigned) access: modify mechanism: by reference First string descriptor of an array of string descriptors. The first-descriptor argument is the address of the first string descriptor. The descriptors are assumed to be dynamic, and their class fields are not checked.
