VFMT_$ENCODE10                    Domain/OS                     VFMT_$ENCODE10


NAME
     vfmt_$encode10 - formatted write to a string

SYNOPSIS (C)
     #include <apollo/base.h>
     #include <apollo/vfmt.h>

     void vfmt_$encode10(
          char *control_string,
          char *string_buffer,
          int &buffer_size,
          int *string_length,
          ...)

SYNOPSIS (Pascal)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.pas';
     %include '/sys/ins/vfmt.ins.pas';

     procedure vfmt_$encode10(
          in control_string: univ vfmt_$string_t ;
          out string_buffer: univ vfmt_$string_t;
          in buffer_size: integer;
          out string_length: integer;
          in a1, a2, a3, a4, a5,
               a6, a7, a8, a9, a10: univ vfmt_$generic_signed_arg);

SYNOPSIS (FORTRAN)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.ftn'
     %include '/sys/ins/vfmt.ins.ftn'

           integer*2 nchar
           parameter (nchar = 128)

           integer*2 buffer_size, string_length
           character control_string*(nchar), string_buffer*200
           integer*4 a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9, a10

           call vfmt_$encode10(control_string, string_buffer,
          &                    buffer_size, string_length,
          &                    a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9, a10)

DESCRIPTION
     Vfmt_$encode10 encodes up to ten source variables into an ASCII string
     whose format is defined by control_string, and writes the result into
     string_buffer.

     control_string
          A VFMT format string defining how to format the source variables.

     string_buffer
          A buffer allocated to receive the formatted string supplied by
          vfmt_$encode10.

     buffer_size
          The number of bytes allocated at string_buffer to receive the for-
          matted string.  Vfmt_$encode10 will not write more than buffer_size
          bytes into string_buffer.

     string_length
          The number of bytes that vfmt_$encode10 wrote into string_buffer.

     a1, a2, a3, ... a9, a10
          Up to 10 source variables containing data to encode into ASCII.

NOTES
     A string field in control_string requires two source variables:  a char-
     acter array containing the value of the string, and a 2-byte integer
     variable specifying the number of bytes in the string.

     vfmt_$encode, vfmt_$encode2, vfmt_$encode5.
