# LIST

This system command is used to display the source code of a single object or to list one or more objects which are contained in the current library.

Note
This command is not executable in batch mode.

This document covers the following topics:

- LIST Syntax Overview

- Displaying an Individual Source

- Displaying a List of Objects

- Displaying Numbers and Sizes of Objects

- Displaying Directory Information

- Displaying Views

- Displaying File Information of Resource Objects

- Displaying File Information of Error Message Containers

See also Listing Objects in Using Natural Studio, and the description of the command `LIST XREF`.

## LIST Syntax Overview

`LIST` |  | [object-type] object-name |
`COUNT` |  | `*` object-name-range |
`DIR` `ECTORY` [object-name] `VIEW` [view-name] `RESOURCE` [name] `ERROR` [name]

### object-type

| `*` |
| `CLASS` `4` |
`COPYCODE`
`DATA-AREAS`
| `GLOBAL`
| `LOCAL`
| `PARAMETER`
| `DIALOG` `3` |
`7` | (for function)
`8` | (for adapter)
`MAP`
| `PROCESSOR` `CP` `5` |
`PROGRAM`
`ROUTINES`
| `HELPROUTINE` |
|  | `SUBPROGRAM` `N` |
| `SUBROUTINE` |
`TEXT`

### object-name

In place of object-name, you may specify the name of an object (8 characters long at maximum). You may also specify asterisk notation (*), see the examples below.

## Displaying an Individual Source

`LIST` | If you enter only the `LIST` command itself, without any parameters, the contents of the source of the object currently selected will be listed.
`LIST` `object-name` | If you enter a single object name with the `LIST` command, you need not specify the object-type. If you specify an object-type, you must also specify an object-name. In both cases, the object's source code will be listed.
`LIST` `object-type` `object-name`

## Displaying a List of Objects

`LIST` `object-name` | To have all objects in the current library listed, except DDMs, you specify an asterisk (*) for the object-name, but no object-type. To have all objects of a certain type listed, you specify a certain object-type and an asterisk (*) for the object-name. If you wish a certain range of objects to be listed, you can use asterisk notation (*) for the object-name and/or wildcard notation (?).
`LIST` `object-type` `object-name`

#### Examples

- List all objects in the current library, except DDMs:

      LIST *

- List all subroutines in the current library:

      LIST S *

- List all objects (of any type) whose names begin with `SYS`:

      LIST SYS*

- List all maps whose names begin with `SYS`:

      LIST M SYS*

- List directory information of object `PRG01` in current library:

      LIST DIR PRG01

- List all objects such as `NATAL`, `NATURAL`, `NATvrAL` (where vr represents the relevant product version):

      LIST N?T*AL

## Displaying Numbers and Sizes of Objects

`LIST COUNT` | Displays a summary report that contains the numbers and sizes (in bytes or KB if greater than 1 MB) of all objects stored in the current library. The numbers and sizes listed refer to all objects that have been saved as source (Saved) objects only or as cataloged (Cataloged) objects only, and all objects for which both saved and cataloged objects (Stowed) exist.
`LIST COUNT *` | Displays a summary report of all objects where the numbers and sizes of saved/cataloged objects are listed per object type(s) found.
`LIST COUNT` `object-name-range` | Displays a summary report (same as above) for the specified range of objects. Valid range notations are:
`value>` | All objects with names greater than or equal to `value`
`value<` | All objects with names less than or equal to `value`
`value*` | All objects with names that start with `value`

## Displaying Directory Information

`LIST DIRECTORY` | Displays the directory information about the last active object currently in the source work area: Source code: "Saved-on" date and time, library name, user ID, programming mode (reporting or structured), Natural version, code page information (if available), operating system, size, encoding. Object code: "Cataloged-on" date and time, library name, user ID, programming mode, Natural version, code page information (if available), operating system/version, size, Endian mode. Directory information on the saved source code cannot be always exact, because the source code can be edited with non-Natural editors which are not under the control of Natural.
`LIST DIRECTORY object-name` | Displays the directory information about the specified object. If you use asterisk notation (*) for object-name, the directory information of the existing objects is displayed sequentially.

Note
The code page information displayed shows the first 32 characters of the code page only.

## Displaying Views

`LIST VIEW` | Displays a list of all views (DDMs).
`LIST VIEW view-name` | If you specify a single view name, the specified view will be displayed. For the view-name, you can use asterisk notation to display a list of all views (*) or a certain range of views (for example: A*).

## Displaying File Information of Resource Objects

`LIST RESOURCE name` | Displays the file information about the specified resource object. For name, you may only use asterisk notation (*).

Example - Display the file information of all resource objects whose name starts with a W:

    LIST RESOURCE W*

## Displaying File Information of Error Message Containers

`LIST ERROR name` | Displays the file information about the specified error message container `NnnAPMSL.MSG`, where nn is the language code. For name, you may only use asterisk notation (*).
