LIST Command
LIST Command
The LIST command displays on your terminal, prints, or writes to a disk file or process
all or part of the current job. If there is no current job, then the most recently spooled
job becomes the current job. (To make a job current explicitly, use the JOB,
CURRENT command).
type
specifies the type of file to be created if list-file does not already exist. The
format of type is
[ E[DIT] | S[POOL] | C[OMPRESS] ]
E[DIT]
specifies that an EDIT file is to be created if list-file does not already
exist. If list-file exists, then it must be an EDIT file. Characters that
cannot be displayed (ASCII characters 0 through 31 and 127 through 255) are
not written to list-file.
S[POOL]
specifies that a spooler job file is to be created if list-file does not exist. If
list-file exists, then it must be either a spooler job file or a process, which
Spoolcom assumes to be a spooler collector.
C[OMPRESS]
is the same as SPOOL with the addition that ASCII compression is performed.
ASCII compression saves disk space by compressing 8-bit ASCII data into 5-
bit units in the spooler job file. If you specify COMPRESS and list-file is a
process, the command is accepted but ASCII compression is not performed.
OUT list-file
identifies the file, process, or device to receive the output. If you specified EDIT,
SPOOL, or COMPRESS, then list-file is subject to the conditions described
above. If you did not specify EDIT, SPOOL, or COMPRESS, then the following
apply:
•
If list-file does not exist, Spoolcom creates a spooler job file. ASCII
compression is not performed.
•
If list-file does exist, Spoolcom writes data to it in a manner suitable for
the file type, process, or device. The list-file parameter can be an
unstructured file, a relative file, an entry-sequenced file, an EDIT file, a spooler
a job file, a process, or a device.
