[Info-vax] Reading SYSUAF with DCL problem

[Volker Halle]

>From SYS$LIBRARY:LIB.REQ:

!*** MODULE $UAFDEF ***
! ++
!  User authorization file format
!  Note: With the exception of the username and account name,
!  all strings are blank padded counted strings. Username and
!  account name are uncounted, blank padded.
! --

So the first byte in the UAF$T_OWNER field is the string size. The owner string itself begins at the 2nd Byte.

$ owner=f$extr(85,31,rec)    ! obtain string portion from counted string
