LIST

Specifies the destination of the source listing file.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.-------LIST-.-"Destination"-..---><
   +-/-+ |            +-()------------+|
         +.----.-LIST------------------+
          +-NO-+

Parameters:

destination: A full file specification or a device-name.

Properties:

Default:	NOLIST
Phase:	Syntax check
$SET:	Any (for LIST and NOLIST)
	None (for LIST"`filename`" and LIST())

Dependencies:

NOLIST sets NOFORM, NOSETTING and NOXREF at end.

LIST sets FORM"60" immediately.

Comments:

If you specify an existing file, it is overwritten.

When NOLIST is specified, no source listing is produced. If you specify LIST with no destination, the source listing is sent to the screen. If you specify either destination or (), you cannot use this directive in a $SET statement.

destination can be the name of any suitable device. Use CON: for the screen.

NOLIST and LIST with no parameter can be used in $SET statements in a program to list selected parts of the program. The destination of the listing cannot be changed in this way.

LIST() causes the source listing to be put in the file source-name.lst, where source-name is the basename of the filename of the program being compiled.

If you want to list the source to a file for every compilation you do, place the LIST() directive in the cobol.dir file. This overrides the default NOLIST.

Alternatively, if you already have a LIST directive in your cobol.dir, making every listing go to the screen, you can override it by using LIST() on the command line.
