! title : OpenVMS-basic-rms-relative-demo_xxx.bas
! author : Neil Rieck (http://neilrieck.net/links/cool_openvms.html)
! purpose: demos the use of RMS-based relative file access for novice OpenVMS programmers
! scope : this educational program comes free of charge with no strings attached
! notes : 1. OpenVMS-BASIC has 'built in' support for RMS (Record Management Services)
! : 2. edit environment: VT-220, 132 column, 8 column tab stops at 1,9,17,25,....
! : 3. all remarks begin in column 81
! history:
! ver who when what
! --- --- ------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
! 100 NSR 020828 1. original program
! NSR 020829 2. added record update
! 101 NSR 050129 1. changed the phrase "Compaq" to "OpenVMS"
