/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb FORTRAN, /DESIGN  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  /[NO]DESIGN[=(option[,...])]    D=/NODESIGN

  Controls whether the compiler analyzes the source code for program
  design information in comment text and Language Sensitive Editor
  (LSE) placeholders.

  If you omit the /DESIGN qualifier entirely, the default is
  /DESIGN=(NOCOMMENTS,NOPLACEHOLDERS) (equivalent to /DESIGN=NONE or
  /NODESIGN).  However, if you specify /DESIGN without any options,
  the default is /DESIGN (COMMENTS,PLACEHOLDERS) (equivalent to
  /DESIGN=ALL).

  In addition, if /ANALYSIS_DATA is also specified, information about
  design information in comments and placeholders is added to the
  analysis data file.

  Additional Information (explode) :

• COMMENTS
• PLACEHOLDERS
• ALL
