I am using OpenVMS 7.3-2 and have added a bunch of scripts for users. I need to add their usage information to the help manual. So that when the user type $Help "XXXX" they get the documentation
In order to do so I did the following:
I made a text file with the extension .hlp
XXXX.hlp in folder disk2:[acct1]
Then I logged in as system and went to
disk2;[acct1] directory and did the following
$library /replace /help sys$help:helplib.hlb XXX.hlp
After this command I did not get any error message. Theoretically this should have now added the
XXXX as a help option so that when I did
$help XXXX I would get the documentation I had created.
However I got a message saying "no documentation found"
I don't even see the "XXXX" in the VMS help
Can anyone guide me here...
Solved! Go to Solution.

Extract a existing file to have a look
$ lib/ext=UIL/OUT=UIL.HLP sys$help:helplib.hlb
See the docs

Solutionyou should NOT modify the existing OpenVMS HELP library file (SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB). This is completely unsupported and may cause problems in future OpenVMS upgrades.
There are mechanisms to add user-defined HELP libraries pointed to by the logical names HLP$LIBRARY, HLP$LIBRARY_1 etc. as pointed out in the documentation.

Re: Problem adding notes to the VMS help
this may be done, you might fetch the latest
(unreleased BETA) kit for Zip 3.0. The
instructions are in [.VMS]INSTALL_VMS.TXT,
and the kit includes (or creates) properly
formatted HELP text files.
