USING FORMSPEC IN BATCH MODE
BATCH MODE COMMANDS
LIST
Lists a specified form or all forms on the list device.
Syntax
LIST [ form ]
Parameters
form is the name of the form in the current forms file to be listed. When form is
not specified, all forms in the current forms file are listed.
Discussion
The LIST command can be used to provide documentation for a forms file. The forms are
usually listed on the line printer. The LIST command can also be used to list forms to a disc
file to be examined. To do so, use the MPE :FILE command to redefine the formal file
designator FORMLIST as shown below:
:FILE FORMLIST=MYFILE;DEV=DISC;SAVE;NOCCTL
will list forms to the disc file, MYFILE. The SAVE keyword specifies that MYFILE be saved as
a permanent file. The NOCCTL keyword indicates that no carriage control characters are
written to the file. (See the MPE Commands Reference Manual(30000-90009), for more
information on the MPE:FILE command.)
The LIST command prints a maximum of 60 lines per page. This maximum may be
changed by setting the JCW.
