[fpc-pascal]otherwise

Hello,
I encountered a problem trying to compile a program with a following
fragment:

type type1=record
OTHERWISE:type2;
......
end;

The compiler complains as if OTHERWISE is a reserved keyword in Pascal,
but as I know it isn't for BP and DELPHI.
I even checked the docs, but the word is not listed there as a reserved
identifier. 
Anyone has an idea why I cannot use OTHERWISE ?
I know I can simply use some other identifier, but I just want to know ...
