For the VAX/L&T SIG tapes, only new material is included:

    Operating System: VAX/VMS (V5.*)

    Source Language: RALLY, FORTRAN

    Software Required: RALLY, FORTRAN (to re-compile)

    Keywords: RALLY, System Management - VMS.

    Abstract: This is a combined effort by the Fourth Generation
 Languages SIG to produce a library of items related to or using
 4GLs.

    Our sole new contribution comes from the Rally Working Group Chair:

[.RALLY.ODI.SELECT_QUEUE]

      Open Data Interface (ODI) Data Source Defintion Routines
                       For RALLY Applications

                         Julianne de Dufour

The SELECT_QUEUE Open Data Interface Data Source Definition is a DSD
which has as its record values the names of every defined generic and
terminal print queue on the current VMS system.  With it, you can
create a LOV in your RALLY application which contains a list of these
print queues.

You can then use this LOV to allow your users to select the destination
print queue for the RALLY 'print ...' commands, and for form/reports
which are called in PRINT mode, without needing to worry about defining
a logical name SYS$PRINT with their choice of print queues.  You can
also set it up so that users can redirect print output from anywhere
within the application -- even while in the middle of a form/report.
