    CALL_USER parameters are passed to the external program exactly as you
    enter them; VAXTPU does not process them in any way.

    string2 := CALL_USER (integer, string1)

 Parameters

    integer    The integer passed to the external program by reference.

    string1    The string passed to the external program by descriptor.

        the VAX Text Processing Utility Manual.
