(Type: Boolean, Default: FALSE)

<$.LISTN option>

            ┌◄────────────── , ─────────────┐
── $.LISTN ─┴─┬─<integer>─────────────────┬─┴──────────────────────────┤
              └─<integer>── - ──<integer>─┘

If $.LISTN is TRUE, then specified ranges of the virtual NEWTAPE file are listed in the LINE file. If the specified range is empty, then the complete virtual NEWTAPE file is listed.

If the value of $.LISTN is FALSE, then specified ranges of the virtual NEWTAPE file are not listed in the LINE file. If the specified range is empty, then none of the virtual NEWTAPE file is listed. You can reset all or parts of ranges that were previously set.

The virtual NEWTAPE file is the NEWTAPE file the PATCH utility creates or the NEWTAPE file the PATCH utility would create if NEW were TRUE.

The default value for the $.LISTN option is as if $.LISTN had been specified FALSE with an empty sequence range—that is, no portion of the virtual NEWTAPE file is listed.
