<$.PASCAL option>

── $.PASCAL ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

The $.PASCAL option tells the PATCH utility to expect input in the Pascal format, that is, with sequence numbers in columns 73 through 80 and a dollar sign ($) in column 1. When $.PASCAL is TRUE, any $DELETE and $VOIDT records produce $DELETE records. When $.PASCAL is FALSE, $VOIDT records are produced.
