PRINT-LIST Start list output

The PRINT-LIST statement is used to output a set of objects previously selected by means of the statements START-LIST-GENERATION, ADD-LIST-OBJECTS or REMOVE-LIST-OBJECTS. Output can be directed to a file or to SYSLST.

This specifies the destination for the output.

By default, output is directed to SYSLST.

Start list generation Define scope of list Print list

In interactive mode, the START-LIST-GENERATION statement displays the LIST window where the user can define the scope of the list by marking objects and filling in masks. In interactive mode, a corresponding field can be marked instead of issuing the PRINT-LIST statement.
