DCL: CLI$GET_VALUE and keywords

The Question is:

DCL allows the user to type any nonambiguous abbreviation
of a keyword.  Unfortunately, CLI$GET_VALUE only returns
exactly what was typed, not the full keyword.

To get around this, I have had to maintain a list of known
keywords in a program, call CLI$GET_VALUE, and then look
for a match in the list of keywords that I keep in sync
with the CLD.

How can I get the acutal keyword?  If that's impossible,
how can I find the table of possible keywords for a CLI
entity, and what does it look like?



The Answer is:

The method you are using is the same one that we use in our products.  There
is no supported way to access the tables in the manner you request.
