Directives A directive may replace a block in a procedure or function declaration. In HP Standard Pascal, the only directive is FORWARD. This directive makes it possible to postpone full declaration of a procedure or function. Additional directives may be provided by particular implementations. See the HP Pascal/iX Programmer's Guide or the HP Pascal/HP-UX Programmer's Guide, depending on your implementation, for information about those directives. Note that the term FORWARD may appear as an identifier in source code and, at the same time, as a directive.
