CLISTIN Command
CLISTIN Command
The CLISTIN command instructs the DDL compiler to list (or suppress) dictionary
comments specified by the user on the compiler listing.
CLISTIN
lists all subsequent dictionary comments specified by the user on the compiler
listing. CLISTIN is the default setting.
NOCLISTIN
halts listing of user comments on the listing from NOCLISTIN to any subsequent
CLISTIN.
CLISTIN Command Guidelines
The following points are guidelines for using the CLISTIN command:
•
You can suppress comments on the output listing with NOCLISTIN and
subsequently resume listing comments with CLISTIN.
•
Regardless of the setting of CLISTIN, the compiler listing always includes any
production comments. The DDL compiler generates production comments to
provide such information as the total length of records and definitions and to
document such compiler actions as adding a record to the dictionary.
•
CLISTIN and NOCLISTIN work independently of the COMMENTS and
NOCOMMENTS commands that control output of comments to the dictionary and
of the CLISTOUT and NOCLISTOUT commands that control reproduction of
comments on source-code files.
CLISTIN Command Example
The following example illustrates the selective listing of dictionary comments specified
by the user. Assume the source file is defined as:
[ NO ] CLISTIN
*Comment for AA
DEF aa PIC X(24).
?NOCLISTIN
*Comment for BB
DEF bb PIC X(10).
?CLISTIN
*Comment for CC
DEF cc PIC 9(6).
List comments by default
Stop listing comments
Start listing comments again
