Actually, I was doing it with RUN, which may have been the problem? Perhaps that's
not meant to pass command-line values. I'm new at this.
Back in the day, this was documented enough that I
managed to figure it
out, so unless VMS doc has gotten substantially worse, the necesary
info ought to be lurking there somewhere.
It's not *bad*, per se, it's just in a big HTML/PDF equivalent of a phone book, so
I'm having a spot of trouble figuring out in the morass of stuff where I should be
looking. The online index is terrible.
Hmm, I might have VMS on a disk somewhere. If you
can't get anywhere
any other way I can try to dig out the relevant machine and see if the
help files say enough to be useful - I think in my case I found it in
the dead-tree docs.
The online (and by "online" I mean "in VMS" this time) help seems to
be mostly about running the various commands to produce executables, so it's probably
not that. I'll keep poking around in the online (on HP's website) development
guide and see if it just takes some more patience. :-)
