In the next example, an error results when non-existent lines are used with the LIST command (1).

Following that, LIST is entered with a "line beginning" which is higher in sequence than the "line ending",

indicate the current position of the record pointer (3). LIST used with a line number which includes an

illegal decimal value causes another error (4). Finally, an illegal character used with the FIRST parameter

brings up another error message.
