I originally started with lib$get_logical and that worked perfectly for returning me the equivalence string, but once I realised I also needed the TRANS=TERM attribute I couldn't see a way to get that from lib$get_logical and so I turned to SYS$TRNLNM.

If I missed that in lib$get_logical then that's my bad - feel free to show me the error of my ways, because that is a much simpler interface.

But I think I have the answers I need now so about to press on with some testing :-)
