Hi...

This is going to sound like a real dumb question.  First of all, let
me give you some background.  I am new to the VMS programming
environment (but not programming in general) and am having some
problems using RMS with C/C++

Here is a screen capture of what the file details are:

REG.DBS;1                     File ID:  (34902,27,0)
Size:         2828/2828       Owner:    [CASSIDYD]
Created:   10-AUG-1995 08:21:32.19

File organization:  Indexed, Prolog: 3, Using 2 keys
Shelved state:      Online
File attributes:    Allocation: 2828, Extend: 0, Maximum bucket size:

                    Global buffer count: 0, No version limit
                    Contiguous best try
Record format:      Variable length, maximum 1960 bytes
Record attributes:  Carriage return carriage control
RMS attributes:     None
Journaling enabled: None
File protection:    System:RWED, Owner:RWED, Group:RE, World:R
Access Cntrl List:  None
 
Total of 1 file, 2828/2828 blocks.

What i am trying to do seems very simple.  I would like to extract all
the records in the REG.DBS file and output them to a standard ASCII
file that I can port to my PC.  I will then do some analysis on the
file.

Is reading the records as easy as a sys$get(&fab) command?  Or do i
have to do a whole lot more?

Thanks in advance
D.
