file-spec Specifies the character string you want the linker to use as the name of the debug symbol file. If you do not include a file type in the character string, the linker appends the .DSF file type to the file name. If you specify the /DSF qualifier without the file specification, the linker creates a debug symbol file with the file name of the first input file and the default file type .DSF. If you append the /DSF qualifier to one of the input file specifications, the linker creates a debug symbol file with the file name of the file to which the qualifier is appended and with the default file type .DSF. The OpenVMS Debugger (whether you use it in System-Code Debugger mode or user mode) requires that the name of the DSF file be the same as the name of the image file, except that the file extension is .DSF. If you use an /EXECUTABLE or /SHAREABLE qualifier and a file name with the LINK command, you must also include the same file name with the /DSF qualifier. (You must also use the .DSF file type.)
