Does anyone know of a way to get a file size on a vms system when
not in the os?  For example, if I'm running fortran.  I've been
told there is a way to get the maximum record allowed for
direct files but what if the file has variable length records.
When I do a DIR/FULL the size will respond with N/M where N
is the current number of blocks used and M is the maximum allowed.
I'm trying to get the N if possible.  Any help appreciated.
