I am trying to create a logical name in my process table from within
a C program. I am using SYS$CRELNM. SYS$CRELOG is obsolete so I don't
want to use that. LIB$SET_LOGICAL works fine but I want to know what I
am doing wrong. I am running VMS V4.4 using C V2.2. Here is a sample
program that does not produce the logical name NEWNAME. Strangely
enough, it exits with SS$_NORMAL. Can someone who has successfully
used this system service help me out? Thanks.
---- Snip here ----
#include descrip
#include lnmdef
#include psldef
#define MAXLEN 100
main()
{
extern unsigned long sys$crelnm();
unsigned char acmode = PSL$C_USER;
unsigned long attr = 0;
long status;
char defname[MAXLEN];
char logname[MAXLEN];
struct {
struct
{
short len;
short code;
long *baddr;
long *rladdr;
} log;
long eos;
} loglst = {
{ MAXLEN, LNM$_STRING, defname, 0}, 0 };
$DESCRIPTOR(LOGNAME,logname);
$DESCRIPTOR(TABLE_NAME, "LNM$PROCESS_TABLE");
strcpy(defname, "abc.xyz");
strcpy(logname, "NEWNAME");
TABLE_NAME.dsc$w_length = strlen("LNM$PROCESS_TABLE");
loglst.log.len = strlen(defname);
LOGNAME.dsc$w_length = strlen(logname);
status = sys$crelnm(&attr, &TABLE_NAME, &LOGNAME, &acmode, &loglst);
exit(status);
}
