value that would be displayed by LISTF < filename >,``2. If you are
reviewing a byte-stream file, NEXT displays the next logical record,
whereas EOF is the byte count of the file.
Table 10-1. on page 381 defines the range of valid responses to control the
output.
Responses are case insensitive. Note that
Return instructs PRINT to
continue printing.
In jobs, no prompt for continuing output is generated. Instead, a page-eject
control character is written to outfile every
p lines. A page value of zero
suppresses all page breaks, and
filename is printed from m through n ,
inclusive. This is the default for jobs.
UNN Suppresses line numbering in the display, regardless of whether the disk
file is numbered or unnumbered. UNN is the default.
NUM Specifies numbering of the lines as they are displayed. The numbers
appear in front of the line (record) being displayed. The number displayed
is the actual line number for numbered files; for unnumbered files, relative
numbering begins with 1.
NONUM Requests that trailing digits at the end of each record in the file be
displayed as part of the file content, rather than being interpreted as line
numbers.
Operation Notes
This command prints the contents of
filename to the standard list device, unless another
destination is specified with the
outfile variable.
If an interactive user takes more than HPTIMEOUT minutes to respond to the page number
prompt, MPE/iX terminates the CI. This occurs only if HPTIMEOUT has been set to a
positive value.
In a batch job, in which the
filename defaults to $STDINX, some MPE/iX commands such
as :EOD, EOF, JOB, EOJ, and DATA do not execute as part of the original job when they follow
a PRINT command. For example, if a JOB command follows a PRINT command, only those
commands preceding PRINT are executed in the original job, and nothing is printed. The
JOB command following the PRINT command is taken as the start of a new job, which is
Table 10-1. PRINT Command Control
