HELLO EVERYBODY,
 
Is there anayone who can tell me how to access the sysuaf file from PASCAL.
If I try to access the file with the open command as follows:
 
OPEN (FILE_VARIABLE := SYSUAF_FILE,
      FILE_NAME := 'SYS$SYSTEM:SYSUAF.DAT',
      HISTORY := OLD,
      RECORD_TYPE := VARIABLE,
      ORGANISATION := INDEXED,
      SHARING := READWRITE,
      ERROR := MESSAGE );
 
I get a run-time error which complains about the record length.
The message looks like the following:
 
PAS$K_RECLENGTH The record length specified is inconsistance with this file.
 
(but i didn't specified it, because if i do he says that I musn't do that
 because the record_type is variable)
Could it be that I have to use a system servive (RMS open)
 
 Greetings,
