Just so.  Under VMS 5.0 and higher there was added support for
SMP (Symetric Multi-Processors).  There's no such thing as a
"current process" since several could be current at any given time
(each on a differant processor).

You want to use the FIND_CPU_DATA macro under VMS 5.x.  Replace the 
MOVL SCH$GL_CURPCB,R0 line with:

FIND_CPU_DATA	R0
MOVL	CPU$L_CURPCB(R0),R0

And you're good to go.
