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

  The PSECT attribute is useful for placing static  variables  and
  executable  blocks in program sections that will be shared among
  executable images.

  Syntax:

     [PSECT(identifier)]

  The 'identifier' designates the program section in which storage
  for  a variable, routine, or compilation is to be allocated.  It
  is passed in uppercase on OpenVMS  systems.   If  you  omit  the
  identifier,  the name of the variable is used as the name of the
  common block.  The identifier designates the compilation unit in
  which storage for a variable is to be allocated.
