[comp.os.vms] next UIC in group - what is otoa?

graham@DRCVAX.ARPA (07/05/88)

Sometime over the weekend, there was an info-vax message containing a very 
useful program to find the next UIC in a group.  I deleted the header info, 
so don't know whoo the author was.  I can really use this porgram, but I 
can't get it to link.

I am not a C person, so I don't know what the problem is.  I compiled the 
program and linked it with sys$library:vaxcrtl and was told by linker 
warnings that symbol OTOA was undefined.  Upon investigating the program, 
it seems that 'otoa' is called twice and does an octal to ascii conversion. 

Unfortunately, the VAX C run time lib doesn't seem to know about it.  Am I 
missing something?  Perhaps a module was left out of the program?

Any help/advice would be really appreciated.
