[comp.os.vms] DCL from high level languages

OPER10@TRINCC.BITNET (Pete Bradley) (04/26/87)

     I'm trying to find the quickest way possible to do a DCL command (eg.
SHOW USERS, etc); from within a FORTRAN program.  I know about LIB$SPAWN,
but it tends to involve a lot of overhead.  LIB$DO_COMMAND does what I want,
except that it is effectively the last line in the program, as no more code
is executed once it is called.  Is there any fast way to do this?  I can
dela with FORTRAN, BASIC, and Pascal, and I don't mind calling MACRO, though
I don't know enough MACRO to program in it.  Any light that can be shed on
this problem would be greatly appreciated.
