SELECT Value for a List Name

A value of SELECT can be specified instead of a list name in many of the commands that use lists. This provides a display of existing lists. For example:

YEDTOBJLST OBJLST (QGPL/SELECT)

Lists can have qualified names. For instance, QGPL/FRED fact lists are stored as database file members, but the Object list QGPL/FRED is actually member FRED in file YOBJLST in library QGPL. The database file where a given list is stored has the same format as the output file of the related i OS display command, as shown in the following table:
