What exact version of Pascal compiler are you using ? (presumably you are using OpenVMS 7.3 on a VAX as the operating system)
What is the exact message the complier gives concerning the writeln() function?
Can you generate a simple proof of concept and share what you are doing ?
Looking at the HP Pascal for OpenVMS Language Reference Manual (for V5.8/V5.9) it is supported
http://h30266.www3.hpe.com/odl/i64lp/progtool/pasi6461/pasi64rm.pdf
Its hard to suspect that types and records are also non-existent, along with writeln(). Theyre part of what makes Pascal, well , Pascal !

Subject: [External] [Simh] anyone know how to convert/translate turbo pascal to vax pascal?
since I did all that work recreating "castle" from the vax to the pc
using turbo pascal (then free pascal)
I'd like to "port" it back to the vax,
but the vms 7.3 pascal compiler doesn't recognize "writeln"
and I suspect things like types and records and case statements wont work either.
anyone have any ideas?
