Installing the CallAPI for VMS

This document guides you through the new installation of a CallAPI for VMS.

A CallAPI for VMS is supplied with AE. This interface enables calls in AE from your own programs. These programs can be written in programming languages such as C, C++, or COBOL. For example, UCXBV??C serves as a utility that can be used via command-line call.

A two-character code is assigned for each supported VMS variant.  This code is part of some CallAPI file names In this document, the specific code has been replaced by "??."
