CLISTOUT
CLISTOUTDETAIL causes the DDL compiler to reproduce any comments previously
associated with a referenced definition. If a definition or record refers to a definition that
has a comment and CLISTOUTDETAIL is in effect, the DDL compiler reproduces the
comment in the source code just before the referenced definition. CLISTOUTDETAIL
does not reproduce comments for definitions referenced by a token map or a token
type.
Even if NOCLISTOUT is specified, a DDL timestamp comment, preceded by an
asterisk, is included before every definition and record in a source code file. You can
suppress this comment with a NOTIMESTAMP command (see the TIMESTAMP on
page 9-113).
Example 9-9. CLISTOUT, NOCLISTOUT and CLISTOUTDETAIL Commands
