Re-Read Arne's response.
DCL symbols are process local.  By the time your program regains control after 
the lib$spawn, (unless you specified nowait), the process that created the DCL
symbol will be gone, and with it the symbol.  And lib$get_symbol can't obtain 
DCL symbols from another process, even if the process was still there.
There are other mechanisms that could work, but before going further,  what 
problem  are you trying to solve, and why do you think this is solution to the problem.
