Syntax:

     pragma Short_Descriptors

In VMS versions of the compiler, this configuration pragma causes all occurrences of the mechanism types Descriptor[_xxx] to be treated as Short_Descriptor[_xxx]. This is helpful in porting legacy applications from a 32-bit environment to a 64-bit environment. This pragma is ignored for non-VMS versions.
