CLISTIN
CLISTIN
The [NO]CLISTIN command includes [excludes] subsequent user-defined dictionary
comments in [from] the compiler listing.
Default: CLISTIN
CLISTIN
includes subsequent user-defined dictionary comments in the compiler listing.
NOCLISTIN
excludes subsequent user-defined dictionary comments from the compiler listing.
You can suppress comments on the output listing with NOCLISTIN and subsequently
resume listing comments with CLISTIN.
Regardless of the setting of CLISTIN, the compiler listing always includes any
production comments. The DDL compiler generates production comments to provide
such information as the total length of records and definitions and to document such
compiler actions as adding a record to the dictionary.
CLISTIN and NOCLISTIN work independently of the COMMENTS and
NOCOMMENTS commands that control output of comments to the dictionary and of
the CLISTOUT and NOCLISTOUT commands that control reproduction of comments
on source code files.
