Note 234.0 DRM Routine: OPEN HIERARCHY No replies
50836::ERLEMANN 23 lines 13-NOV-1989 06:37
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi there out in the world,
**after deposing the article below in the documentation-conference since
one week without any answer, I try it here**
I hope that I'm right in this conference with my problem.
A customer believes that he's found a documentation error concerning
DECwindows Application Programming.
In his documentation (as in mine) the DRM Routine "OPEN HIERARCHY"
in Vol. 1C, pages 4-23,24, the argument 'file_names_list' is described
as 'an array of pointers to the character strings.'.
He believes that it has to be 'an array of pointers to the string descrip-
tors of the character strings.
I'm not so experienced in DECwindows Programming (unfortunately...) to
decide if he's right.
Can somebody give me a hint ?
Thanks in advance
Armin Erlemann

Well, it depends. The VAX binding definitely uses an array of pointers to descriptors, so he's right there. I'm unsure about the MIT C binding, for which I suspect the manual description is more accurate. This is something definitely in need of clarification. I suggest that you enter a VMSDOC QAR about it.
