Andrew,
The exact services that you are requesting are provided by the
library routines/system services:
SYS$TRNLNM Translate Logical Name (get value)
LIB$DELETE_LOGICAL Delete Logical Name
LIB$SET_LOGICAL Assign value to Logical Name
These routines are full described in the online HELP text as well
as in TFMs. I refer all readers to the grey wall and their
screens for the gory details.
I hope that the above information is helpful. If I can be of
further assistance, please send me an Email.
- Bob
