First off, I don't care what you choose to call yourself, but please can
you stick to the one identity so that we know we are talking to the same
person. Thanks.

You have been pointed to the VMS documentation set in the past; please read
it as it answers your questions.

However, if you want to read parameters within a command procedure you
use the P1 through P8 parameters. If you want a language independent way
of reading parameters in a program invoked from a command procedure, you
can call lib$get_foreign if you invoke your program as a foreign command.

If that doesn't answer your questions, you are going to have to explain
in much more detail what your operating environment is and what your
requirements are.

For example, are you running a command procedure interactively, or are
you trying to run DCL commands on a remote VMS system from within a
shell script running on a non-VMS host ?

We would like to help you, but you are not giving us much to go on.
