Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious, but the rms STS value can be found in vaxc$errno (but I don't know how to access the STV value). Example: #include errno #include perror main() E fopen("sahdjgf$$$","r"); perror("Blurp"); printf("%d %d\n",errno,vaxc$errno); fopen("sdf:asjklhdf$$$","r"); perror("Blurp"); printf("%d %d\n",errno,vaxc$errno); fopen("gdgd%gsgs","r"); perror("Blurp"); printf("%d %d\n",errno,vaxc$errno); L yields: $ r apa Blurp: no such file or directory 2 98962 Blurp: no such device or address 6 99524 Blurp: non-translatable vms error code: 0x18744, vms message: %rms-f-wld, invalid wildcard operation 65535 100164 -- Daniel Berglund (foperator@tekno.chalmers.se, BITNET: FOP@SECTHF51) Chalmers University of Technology, G|teborg, Sweden
