Command Description
LIST LIBRARY Lists the implemented libraries. If the library is documented, the corresponding system is also indicated. If not, the following text appears: >>>library not documented<<<.
SELECT LIBRARY Produces the same list as LIST LIBRARY. A library can be selected for further processing from this list.
Note:XIST SYSTEM Lists systems that are documented but do not correspond to an implemented library.
UNDEFINED LIBRARY Lists libraries that are implemented but have no corresponding system object in Predict.
ELEMENTS LIBRARY Lists libraries with members. If a member is documented, the corresponding program is also indicated. If not, the member is marked >>>>not documented<<<<.
CONTAINING PROGRAM Lists systems with programs which are linked or for which XRef data exist in the documented library. Predict 3.2 XRef data is evaluated.
