DICTDBM Commands
List
List
Lists information for an entity or entities with a subset of the attributes.
Syntax
[option] LIST subcommand L
Use the LIST command to see the attributes of:
• a particular entity
• all entities of a particular type
• entities selected by using Selection Criteria (see Section III)
A complete list of entities for which a listing can be generated is given under
Subcommands. The subcommand identifies the type of entity for which a listing is
generated. The listing is displayed in the order in which the entities were entered. After
the listing, the number of records displayed is given.
To list one entity, specify the entity's name in response to the first prompt. To list all of the
entities for a specific subcommand, press the [[RETURN]] key for all the prompts or enter
an exclamation character (!) in response to the first prompt. (Note that this is a different
use of the [[RETURN]] key and of the exclamation mark character than for most
commands.) The Selection Criteria can also be used to generate a listing. (See Section III
for more detailed information.)
The PRINT option can be used with the command string to print the listing and additional
information on the line printer. Along with the information normally displayed, the listing
will include the description entered when the entity was created.

CATEGORY lists the categories
