VMS Help PASCAL, /DESIGN[=(option[,...])] D=/NODESIGN  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  /NODESIGN

  Directs the compiler to accept  design  phase  placeholders  and
  comments   as   valid   program   elements   within  a  program.
  Placeholders are  produced  by  you  or  the  Language-Sensitive
  Editor  (LSE);  design  comments  are  intended for use with the
  Source Code Analyzer (SCA).  To use /DESIGN, you must be running
  LSE  Version  3.0  or higher and SCA Version 2.0 or higher.  The
  options are as follows:

     [NO]PLACEHOLDERS
       Directs the compiler to accept placeholders as valid program
       elements.

     [NO]COMMENTS
       Directs the compiler to recognize design comments (OpenVMS VAX).

  On OpenVMS VAX systems, the /DESIGN qualifier without options is
  equivalent to /DESIGN=(PLACEHOLDERS,COMMENTS).  On OpenVMS Alpha
  systems, the /DESIGN qualifier without options is equivalent  to
  /DESIGN=(PLACEHOLDERS).

  By default, /NODESIGN is enabled.
