Starting with VAX C V2.2-015, the CRTL is not shipped with compiler
updates.  This means that installing version 2.2 will not fix any
outstanding runtime library bugs.  These bugs are fixed in VMS releases.

To answer another question, VMS V4.4 does fix the sscanf problem in the
C runtime library.  This fix is totally independint of whether you
are running version 2.1 or 2.2 of VAX C (assuming that you don't try
to reinstall version 2.1 after upgrading to VMS 4.4.....)
