The DESCRIPTION statement inserts specified text into the application or DLL. This statement is useful for embedding source-control or copyright information into a file.
Syntax
DESCRIPTION 'text'
Remarks
The text is a string of up to 255 characters enclosed in single or double quotation marks (' or "). To include a literal quotation mark in the text, either specify two consecutive quotation marks of the same type or enclose the text with the alternate type of quotation mark. If a DESCRIPTION statement is not specified, the default text is the name of the main output file as specified in LINK's exefile field.
You can view this string by using the EXEHDR utility. The string appears in the Description: field. For more information, see Chapter 17.
The DESCRIPTION statement is different from a comment. A comment is a line that begins with a semicolon (;). LINK does not place comments into the program.
Example
The following example inserts the text Tester's Version, Test "A", which contains a literal single quotation mark and a pair of literal double quotation marks, into the application or DLL:
DESCRIPTION "Tester's Version, Test ""A"""
