cDEC$ IDENT string Lets you specify a string that can be used to identify an object module. The compiler places the string in the identification field of an object module when it generates the module for each source program unit. The "string" is a character constant containing up to 31 printable characters. Only the first IDENT directive is effective -- the compiler ignores any additional IDENT directives in a program unit. IDENT has no effect when you specify the /NOOBJECT compiler option.
