Dear InfoVaxers,
    This is my third try at this so my apologys is it comes thru
more then once.  My mailer is somewhat braindead and keeps coming
back and telling me it doesn't know where to send messages if it can't 
find send my message.  Ow well, here goes nothing.

 
    Its friday and maybe thats why I can't figure this out but maybe 
someone else can help.  I am trying to use the system service sys$trnlnm
to translate a logical name.  However, how to define the struct for the 
itemlst eludes me.  All I want to do is have in my hot little hands a
pointer to a string containing the translated logical.  Can anyone 
help?

    	Thanks

heres what I'm trying to do.

#include <STDIO.h>
#include <SSdef.h>   /* the system reurn codes */
#include <Descrip.h> /* the descriptor definitions */
#include <Llndef.h>  /* the attributes to $trnlnm */

/* translate the give logical name and print the translation */
main()
{
int sys$trnlnm();

$DESCRIPTOR(Log_nam,"EDTINI");
$DESCRIPTOR(Tab_nam,"PROCESS");

sys$trnlnm(NULL,&Tab_nam,$Log_nam,NULL,&itemlst)

printf("%s\n",somestringpointer}
