LIST <ALL | VIEW |<'>column-identifier<'>>; |
If you use an editing statement, such as LIST, it must follow the CREATE or UPDATE statement and the database connection statements when you create or update a descriptor. You can specify LIST as many times as you want while creating or updating a descriptor; specify LIST last in your PROC ACCESS code to see the entire descriptor. Or, if you are creating or updating multiple descriptors, specify LIST before the next CREATE or UPDATE statement in order to list all the information about the descriptor you are creating or updating.
The LIST statement can take one or more of the following arguments:
*NON-DISPLAY*
appears next to the column description for any column
that has been dropped;
*UNSUPPORTED*
appears next to any
column whose data type is not supported by your DBMS interface view engine.
When you are creating a view descriptor,
*SELECTED*
appears next
to the column description for columns that you have selected for the view.The column-identifier argument can be either the column name or the positional equivalent, which is the number that represents the column's place in the descriptor. For example, to list information about the fifth column in the descriptor, submit the following statement:
list 5;
You can use one or more of these previously described arguments in a LIST statement, in any order.
