General Compiler Directive: Declares alternate external names for external subprograms.
Syntax
Rules and Behavior
If a name is specified, the name (in uppercase) is used as the external name for the specified internal-name. If a character constant is specified, it is used as is; the string is not changed to uppercase, nor are blanks removed.
The ALIAS directive affects only the external name used for references to the specified internal-name.
Names that are not acceptable to the linker will cause link-time errors.
You can use the prefix !MS$ in place of cDEC$.
