Parameter Description
UNN
This parameter suppresses line numbers in the listing, and causes all carriage
control directives to be executed.
VARS
When selected, two
CI
variables (or JCWs on MPE/V) are created:
NBFIRSTLINE
and
NBLASTLINE
which contain the line numbers of the first
and last line listed. If nothing is listed, the values will be
-1
(or
65535
on
MPE/V).
WAIT
This parameter causes the command to pause at the end of an open spool file
and continue to display new lines as they are added to the open spool file. A
default pause of
3
seconds between updates is used to prevent overutilization
of the CPU.
seconds
This parameter overrides the default waiting time of
3
seconds. Must be
between
1
and
600
seconds.
string
This parameter causes only those lines containing the specified string to be
listed. Strings may be delimited by single (
‘
) or double quotes (
“
). If no line
range is specified, all lines in the file will be searched for the string.
Note. All uppercase parameters described above can be abbreviated to one character. For
example,
U
and
UNN
are equivalent.
