The Question is:
Need example of calling SYS$GETUAI, and SYS$HASH_PASSWORD in "C". Attempting
to learn "C" and system services at the same time, probably a bad combination?
The Answer is :
A specific answer to the statement "Tried compiling, got errors"
is quite simply impossible. Specific example code and specific
error messages and specific compiler information are required.
You must read the OpenVMS Programming Concepts manual and you
must read the Compaq C programming documentation. Both of these
provide the information and various examples.
The OpenVMS Wizard cannot provide examples of calling arbitrary
system services in arbitary languages -- though the OpenVMS Wizard
will mention that there is similarity across system services, and
examples of calls to common system services such as $getsyi or $getjpi
can easily be used as models for calls to other system services.
Various C examples in the Programming Concept manual demonstrate
calling $getjpi, for instance.
You will also want to review the OpenVMS FAQ information on C and
C programming on OpenVMS -- some of the most common C programming
errors are described in the FAQ, and explanations of core OpenVMS
data structure constructs durectly relevent to C programmers are
also provided. You will also want to avail yourself of the various
Freeware packages and OpenVMS websites referenced in the OpenVMS FAQ.
