III.11.9 Representation in the List File

Sometimes macro expansions tend to produce much more listing lines than resulting code. To list or not to list - that is the question! The requirements to either get a better overall view or more detailed information may vary in different development phases or program sections. To always get the best results, a number of general controls has been introduced, which influence the representation of macro expansions and IFxx constructions in the list file (see chapter ”III.8 Assembler Controls”):

Control	Type	Default	Abbreviation	Meaning
$GEN $NOGEN $GENONLY	G G G	$GEN	$GE $NOGE $GO	list macro calls and expansion lines list macro calls only list expansion lines only
$COND $NOCOND $CONDONLY	G G G	$COND	--- --- ---	list full IFxx .. ENDIF constructions don't list lines in false branches list assembled lines only
$SAVE $RESTORE	G G		$SA $RS	save current $LIST/$GEN/$COND state restore old $LIST/$GEN/$COND state
