LIST Command
information is suppressed, except when listing to a spooler job file or spooler
collector. For details about formatting control, refer to the Guardian Programmer's
Guide.
N
if list-file is a spooler job file or a spooler collector, prevents formatting-control
information (CONTROLs, CONTROLBUFs, and SETMODEs) embedded in the job
from being written to list-file along with the print data. Normally, this
information is included when listing to a spooler job file or a spooler collector. For
details about formatting control, refer to the Guardian Programmer's Guide.
O
causes the data to be displayed in octal representation rather than in ASCII.
Considerations
•
If no current job is defined, the LIST command causes the most recently spooled
job to become the current job.
•
If you create a file for receiving output from the LIST command, take care that it is
large enough. If it is not, the LIST command terminates with file-system error 45
(file is full).
•
Pressing the Break key while Peruse is listing a job causes the listing to stop and
the Peruse prompt to be displayed.
•
Pressing the Return key or one of the function keys displays the job by lines from
the current line (actually, from the line following the one most recently listed, or
from the first line if none has been listed). Refer to Table 2-1.
•
The NUMCOL and STARTCOL commands affect the operation of LIST. Peruse
will list only the text in each line from STARTCOL for NUMCOL columns. FIND
functions if string is located in any area, even that excluded by a NUMCOL or
STARTCOL command, but it displays only that area permitted by NUMCOL and
STARTCOL.
•
If a batch job is current, LIST operates on the first job that is part of the current
batch job.
