The system service $GETMSG is the actual call - $PUTMSG will output
to SYS$OUTPUT but $GETMSG will simply store the message text in
a buffer. Does more than that but only if you tell it to. See the
System Services manual.

But $GETMSG dosen't fill in FAO directives.
In the Condition Handler I get a SIG[n] signal stack which has messages
and FAO arguments.
Guess I have to either live without the FAOs or do them myself.

Yes, but $GETMSG *does* tell you how many FAO arguments it thinks
you should have. Since the message text will be in a buffer you
can the do the FAO yourself, using the count that $GETMSG returns
to you ("outadr", byte 1). You said you didn't want to output them,
right? All you have to do to output them is to $FAO the message
with the FAO count supplied by $GETMSG, and yank 'em off your stack.
You could even get around that by doing a $FAOL into another buffer,
once you got the message... You already appear to have your arguments
on the stack, it's not that difficult to make $FAOL take arguments.
You cartainly don't HAVE to do them yourself!

| 443.4 | Try an ACTRTN | KATYA::FISHER | Bill Fisher | Tue Apr 14 1987 11:01 | 5 |
| I thought that executing an action routine which returned with LBC would
keep $PUTMSG from writing to SYS$OUTPUT and SYS$ERROR. The description of
$PUTMSG doesn't seem to state this, but the FORTRAN example indicates that
it works that way.

| 443.5 | use $PUTMSG with action routine | SQM::RICO | | Tue Apr 14 1987 12:19 | 7 |
| .4 is correct. I have an application that uses $PUTMSG to format
messages and ship them through a mailbox. Exiting your action
routine with a "failure" status (LBC) with prevent $PUTMSG
from writing to SYS$OUTPUT or SYS$ERROR. This is not documented
that I can see so I don't know if it could change in the future.

Thats it! I think PUTMSG with an ACTRTN is the way to go.
Thanks !

As for the other question, yes you can unwind through AST routines,
but you have to be careful. Some parts of VMS don't like asynchronous
unwinds.
I suspect you want to unwind the AST, and no further. This is
the normal case. To do that, have your AST routine enable
a handler, and from the handler call SYS$UNWIND with no arguments.
If you want your AST routine to return a value, modify the
saved R0 and saved R1 in the mechanism vector.

Who would get the AST's value?

| Re .7
I believe that using LIB$SIG_TO_RET is the equivalent of doing
a $UNWIND with no arguments and placing a value in the saved R0.
