if ( (status & 1) == 1 )

3.19.2 HP OpenVMS RTL Library (LIB$) Manual Corrections
V8.2-1
The following sections provide additions and corrections to Version 8.2 of the HP
OpenVMS RTL Library (LIB$) Manual.
3.19.2.1 HP OpenVMS RTL Library (LIB$) Manual: Rounding Rule for LIB$CVT_DX_DX
V8.2-1
In the description of the LIB$CVT_DX_DX routine in the HP OpenVMS RTL
Library (LIB$) Manual, the following paragraph under ‘‘Guidelines for Using
LIB$CVT_DX_DX’’ should contain specific information about the rounding rule
that is used:
Results are always rounded instead of truncated, except for the case described
below. Note that loss of precision or range may be inherent in the destination
data type or in the NBDS destination size. No errors are reported if there is a
loss of precision or range as a result of destination data type.
This paragraph should be modified as follows:
Results are always rounded instead of truncated, except for when the source and
destination are both NBDS and no scaling is requested. That case is described
more fully in a later rule. LIB$CVT_DX_DX uses the VAX_ROUNDING rule.
Note that loss of precision or range may be inherent in the destination data
type or in the NBDS destination size. No errors are reported if there is a loss
of precision or range as a result of destination data type. For details about the
VAX_ROUNDING rule, refer to the description of CVT$CONVERT_FLOAT.
3.19.3 HP OpenVMS RTL Library (LIB$) Manual: Platform Restrictions
V8.2–1
The HP OpenVMS RTL Library (LIB$) Manual incorrectly identifies the following
routines as being available on both Alpha and Integrity servers. These routines
are available only on Alpha:
• LIB$GET_CURR_INVO_CONTEXT
• LIB$GET_INVO_CONTEXT
• LIB$GET_INVO_HANDLE
• LIB$GET_PREV_INVO_CONTEXT
• LIB$GET_PREV_INVO_HANDLE
• LIB$PUT_INVO_REGISTERS
The HP OpenVMS RTL Library (LIB$) Manual also should specify that the
LIB$GET_UIB_INFO routine is available only on Integrity servers.
The routines relating to invocation contexts and invocation handles that are
Integrity servers only include the following:
• LIB$I64_CREATE_INVO_CONTEXT
• LIB$I64_FREE_INVO_CONTEXT
