Library /sys$common/syshlp/patchhelp.hlb ALIGN  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 Use ALIGN to allocate space for the default patch area  in  image
 files  that  have  not  been patched previously or to advance the
 starting address of the current patch  area  to  the  first  free
 byte,  aligned  on  the requested boundary (byte, word, longword,
 quadword, or page),  and  to  equate  a  symbolic  name  to  that
 address.   Once  you  define the symbolic name, you can use it in
 place of the address it denotes.

 When you specify ALIGN, none of the patch area  between  the  old
 patch  area  address  and  the  aligned  patch  area  address  is
 cataloged by PATCH.  You must keep track of the disjointed  patch
 area.

 Format:

 	ALIGN     symbol-name

 Prompts:

 	NAM> symbol-name
