I tried to respond directly to Mike at the following address IN%"teknowledge-vaxc!mkhaw@beaver.cs.washington.edu" but failed so it is being posted instead. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In regard to the question of how to get the bit definition for the FDL variable, FDL$V_FDL_STRING it was pointed out that the bit number is not listed anywhere. If you do the following command you will get the values for the macro parameters. $library/output=sys$output/extract=$fdldef/macro sys$library:starlet The output will go to the screen for your reading. If you need other type values, the macro libraries of starlet and lib located in SYS$LIBRARY should be searched. There is a lot of good info in these files. hope this helps. pdc Paul D.
