The Declare Statement
EQUEL/Pascal is delivered with a Pascal include file that contains external procedure and function declarations for the EQUEL runtime library. The EQUEL declare statement generates a Pascal %include statement for this file in order to make these declarations visible to the Pascal compiler. This statement must appear in the program's declaration section.
## program something;
## var
## row : integer;
## name : packed array[1..20] of Char;
## declare {Include EQUEL procedures}
## begin
...
## end.
