LIST - Display a Directory

Operation Commands › LIST - Display a Directory

LIST - Display a Directory

Purpose

Entering LIST on the command line and pressing Enter displays the List Command prompt panel that prompts you for the directory type, library type (if a query or term), and a list starting position. You can enter LIST followed by operands and immediately display a directory of queries, terms, dialogs, tables, or saved sets. An alternative command is DIRECTORY which you can use to display a list of directories for selection. DIRECTORY ;l command usage was discussed previously in this chapter.

When to Use It

If you want to display a list of queries, dialogs, terms, tables, or saved sets.

Syntax

The full format for the LIST permits three operands. No operand is required because entering LIST alone displays a prompt panel.

►►─ LIST ─┬──────────────────┬─┬───────────────┬─┬─────────────────────┬──────►◄
          └─ directory-type ─┘ └─ member-type ─┘ └─ starting-position ─┘
