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.
