Reserved words (also called keywords) are symbols that have pre-defined and fixed meanings to the Irie Pascal compiler.

NOTE: There is a compiler option (-p) that will make reserved words and identifiers case-sensitive.

The reserved words recognized by the compiler are listed below (along with links to information describing how the reserved words are used):

NOTE: Reserved words added because of extensions to Standard Pascal are listed in red.
