LIST Command

in the spooler job file. If you specify C[OMPRESS] 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 specify E[DIT],

S[POOL], or C[OMPRESS], then list-file is subject to the conditions described

above. If you did not specify E[DIT], S[POOL], or C[OMPRESS], then the

following apply:

•

If list-file does not exist, Peruse creates a spooler job file. ASCII

compression is not performed.

•

If list-file does exist, Peruse writes data to it in a manner suitable for the

file type, process, or device. list-file can be an unstructured file, a

relative file, an entry-sequenced file, an EDIT file, a spooler job file, a process,

or a device.

If you do not specify OUT list-file, output is directed to the OUT file-name

specified when Peruse was started (the home terminal by default). If you specify

E[DIT], S[POOL], or C[OMPRESS] without specifying OUT list-file, these

keywords have no effect.

specifies that list-file is to be purged, if it exists, and a new list file is to be

created before listing begins. If list-file exists and you do not specify “!”, new

data is appended to any data already in the file if the file is a spooler job file, an

EDIT file, or an entry-sequenced file.

page-range

describes the set of pages to be listed to list-file and can be

A[LL] | page [ / page ]

where page is

{ F | L | * | number } [ + number | - number ]

The set of pages can be identified by absolute page numbers or with a base-offset

notation. Absolute page numbering begins with the first page as page 1. Base-

offset notation uses a base, which can be F (the first page), L (the last page), or *

(the current page). An offset is then added to or subtracted from the base to define

the page.

If you do not specify page-range, the last page of the job is listed.

if list-file is not a spooler job file or spooler collector, causes formatting-

control information (CONTROLs, CONTROLBUFs, and SETMODEs) embedded in

the job to be written to list-file along with the print data. Normally, this
