     /[NO]OUTPUT[=filename]
     /NOOUTPUT (D)

   Specifies the name of the output file.  If the /OUTPUT qualifier
   is omitted, the default output filename is sourcefile.LOCALE.
   Public locales are stored in the directory defined by the logical
   name SYS$I18N_LOCALE.  If the output file is in any other
   location, the locale is private.

   If /NOOUTPUT is specified, the compiler does not create an output
   file, even if the compilation is successful.
