Remarks

These LIST commands are identical to the DISPLAY commands except for the following differences:

  • ADDITIVE
    Appends to the end of the named file. If you omit ADDITIVE, the file is overwritten with the value of the expression.
  • The scope for LIST defaults to ALL records.
  • LIST doesn't prompt you after filling the main Microsoft Visual FoxPro window or a user-defined window with information.
  • LIST doesn't display records flagged for deletion when SET DELETED is ON.

For more information about the LIST commands, see the corresponding commands in DISPLAY.
