    Identification directive

    Format

      .IDENT  quoted-literal

1  –  Parameter

 quoted-literal

    A 1- to 31-character string, within double quotes, that
    identifies the module, such as a string that specifies a version
    number.

2  –  Description

    .IDENT provides a means of identifying the object module. This
    identification is in addition to the name assigned to the object
    module with .TITLE. You can specify a character string in .IDENT
    to label the object module. This string is printed in the header
    of the listing file and also appears in the object module.

3  –  Notes

    o  If a source module contains more than one .IDENT, the last
       directive given establishes the character string that forms
       part of the object module identification.

    o  This directive also accepts VAX MACRO syntax. See the
       VAX MACRO and Instruction Set Reference Manual for details.

4  –  Example

        .IDENT "Module Name"
