How to Use LIST

If you omit the OUT parameter, listing occurs on the device specified in
the OUT filename parameter of the command to run the EDIT program.

If

listfile

is a line printer or a process, the file name of the current

file is printed at the top of each page; 56 text lines are listed per page.

If

listfile

is an unstructured disk file or a magnetic tape, text lines

are padded with blanks so that physical records are the length specified
by the OUTLEN parameter of the SET command; characters to the right
of the length specified in the OUTLEN parameter are listed on
subsequent line(s) and padded with blanks up to the length. (See
“Listing Text Onto Magnetic Tape” and “Listing Text Into a Non-EDIT-
Format Disk File,” following.)

If you omit a range parameter, EDIT lists the current line.

You can specify COL, UNSEQ or SEQ, and OUT in any order (but see
“Tip” at the end of the command description).
