LIST
The LIST command allows the user to generate a report which will display the contents of the system log files. The
user can use the LIST command to display all of the records contained in the system log files, or can specify which
individual log records are to be displayed using various command options. The report from the LIST command may be
sent to a file, line printer, or to the terminal (default).
In order for a log record to be included in the report, it must match all of the selection criteria specified. The user can
define the selection criteria by using the TYPE keyword, DATE or TIME options, or field label keywords.
TYPE
keyword
The TYPE keyword can be used to indicate that only log records of the types specified are to be displayed.
The
LOGTOOL command TYPES can be used to obtain a list of the log record types available.
DATE or
TIME
options
The DATE or TIME options can be used to indicate that only the log records generated between the date
and time entered are to be displayed.
Field
Label
Keywords
Field label keywords allow the user to select log records based on the data present in the log record.
Whenever the LIST command displays a data item from a log record, a field label is shown before the
data item to identify what the item represents. This field label is usually a text abbreviation. Field label
keywords allow the user to use this text abbreviation as a selection keyword. For example, if the user
wishes to see all log records with a field label of "LDEV" and a logged data value of 1, the parameter of
"LDEV=1" can be entered as part of the LIST command.
NOTE: In the preceding example, if the record does not contain an "LDEV" field, the record will not be
displayed.
If no selection criteria are given, all log records found will be included in the report. After all the selected log records
have been displayed, this report will be terminated with a summary indicating the number of log records selected.
