  DCL Symbol substitution? 
 The Question is:
 
In DCL there used to be a method to perform second level symbol
interpretation.  It involved the use of the '#' sign.  Is this functionality
still available, and, if so, what is the correct syntax?
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  There was never a symbol substitution mechanism within DCL using the
  pound ('#') character, one has traditionally used the ampersand ('&amp;').
 
  The correct syntax for ampersand substitution is present in the DCL
  dictionary, and is also covered in the OpenVMS Users Guide.  At present,
  the latter documentation is available online at:
