In VAX, we can use RTL LIB$BBSSI. But in ALPHA, we can not.

:use LIB$BBSSI. Why? 

   Is this a riddle?  The lib$bbssi call works on both OpenVMS VAX
   and OpenVMS Alpha, and its operation is compatible on both
   platforms.

:Is there any way to solve this problem?

   Unknown -- I don't know why you can't use the call...
   Do you have any error messages or return status values
   reported?
