Storing Lists

Lists can be referred to with qualified names, as if they were objects in their own right, for example, OBJLST (QGPL/FRED). Each list name of a given type must be unique within its library.

Lists are actually stored as database file members: a file which contains a list must have the format of the database OUTFILE from the associated i OS command which generates the list. You do not generally need to be concerned with the implementation details of lists; further details are given in the discussion on list parameters in Appendix A of the CA 2E Toolkit Reference Guide.
