MEASLISTCONFIG Returns system configuration information supplied by 
the MEASCTL process.
MEASLISTENAME Translates Guardian file names of MIDs to 
corresponding external format ANSI SQL names or 
OSS pathnames
MEASLISTEXTNAMES Makes Measure list structured OSS and ANSI SQL

MEASLISTGNAME Translates OSS file pathnames to Guardian file names.

MEASOPEN Creates a MEASFH process to initialize or read a data 
file.
MEASREAD Calls MEASREAD_DIFF_ to return counter records 
from a measurement data file.
MEASREADACTIVE Reads data from active counter records, for buffers up
