- 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.
