z/OS V1R9.0 TSO/E Command Reference

TEST—LIST Subcommandsymbolic address and do not specify LENGTH, the value for the LENGTHoperand is retrieved from the internal TEST symbol table or from the lengthassociated with a symbol in a program. Otherwise, the following default valuesapply:Type of data Default length (bytes)C,B,P,Z 1H,S,Y 2F,E,A,X 4D 8IvariableXC 4When the data_type is I, either LENGTH or MULTIPLE can be specified, but notboth. If both are specified, the MULTIPLE operand is ignored, but no errormessage is printed.MULTIPLE(integer)Use with the LENGTH operand. It gives you the following options:v The ability to format the data to be listed (see “Example 8” on page 318).v A way of printing more than 256 bytes at a time. The value you specify forthe integer determines how many lengths or multiples of data_type you wantlisted. The value supplied for the integer cannot exceed 256.For I type data, the value supplied for MULTIPLE defines the number ofinstructions to be displayed. If you use a symbolic address and do not specifyeither LENGTH or MULTIPLE, the length retrieved from the internal TESTsymbol table or from the program is used and multiplicity is ignored.PRINT(data_set_name)specifies the name of a sequential data set to which the data is directed. If youomit this operand, the data is directed to your terminal.The data format is blocked variable-length records. Old data sets with the fixedstandard record format and block size are treated as NEW, if they are beingopened for the first time. Otherwise, they are treated as MOD data sets.If PRINT(data_set_name) is specified, use the following table to determine theformat of the output.If the data_set_name is not specified within quotation marks, the descriptivequalifier TESTLIST is added.If your record type was:Then it is changed tovariable-blocked with thefollowing attributes:Fixed, fixed blocked, orundefined Variable or variable-blockedRecordsize125Blocksize 1629 Recordsize125Blocksize 129Record and block sizes greater than those specified in the preceding table areunchanged.The specified data set is kept open until:v The TEST session is ended by a RUN or END subcommand, orv A LIST, LISTDCB, LISTDEB, LISTMAP, LISTPSW, LISTTCB, or LISTVSRsubcommand is entered specifying a different PRINT data set. In this case,the previous data set is closed and the current one is opened.316 z/OS V1R9.0 TSO/E Command Reference
