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.

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

Peruse assumes to be a spooler collector.

C[OMPRESS]

is the same as S[POOL] with the addition of ASCII compression. ASCII

compression saves disk space by compressing 8-bit ASCII data into 5-bit units

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.
