LIST
Lists information for an entity or entities with a subset of the
attributes.
Syntax
[option] LIST subcommand
L
Use the LIST command to see the attributes of:
* a particular entity
* all entities of a particular type
* entities selected by using Selection Criteria (see Section III)
A complete list of entities for which a listing can be generated is given
under Subcommands. The subcommand identifies the type of entity for
which a listing is generated. The listing is displayed in the order in
which the entities were entered. After the listing, the number of
records displayed is given.
To list one entity, specify the entity's name in response to the first
prompt. To list all of the entities for a specific subcommand, press the
[[RETURN]] key for all the prompts or enter an exclamation character (!)
in response to the first prompt. (Note that this is a different use of
the [[RETURN]] key and of the exclamation mark character than for most
commands.) The Selection Criteria can also be used to generate a
listing. (See Section III for more detailed information.)
The PRINT option can be used with the command string to print the listing
and additional information on the line printer. Along with the
information normally displayed, the listing will include the description
entered when the entity was created.

Any of the following subcommands can be used with the LIST command:
CATEGORY lists the categories
CLASS lists the security classes
ELEMENT lists the data elements
FILE lists the files
GROUP lists the HP Inform groups
LOCATION lists the physical locations PROCEDURE lists
the procedures
