- 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:
-

-
- 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.
