LISTNAMES

The LISTNAMES program produces a report that lists the names of the objects in a workspace. You can limit the list to particular types of objects, and you can have the names for each type of object listed in alphabetical order.

Syntax

LISTNAMES [AW workspace|'*'] [objtype-list|ALL] -

     [SORTED|UNSORTED] [LIKE 'pattern']

Arguments

AW workspace

AW '*'

Specifies the name of an attached workspace whose objects you want to list. When you omit the workspace name, LISTNAMES lists the objects in the current workspace. When you use the '*' (asterisk) argument instead of a workspace name, LISTNAMES produces a separate report for each attached workspace.

objtype-list

ALL

Specifies one or more of the following types of objects whose names you want to list: AGGMAP, COMPOSITE, DIMENSION, FORMULA, MODEL, OPTION, PROGRAM, RELATION, VALUESET, VARIABLE, and WORKSHEET. You can include a trailing "S" on any object type, for example, DIMENSIONS. You can list these object types in any order. ALL (the default) specifies that the names of objects of all these types should be listed.

SORTED

UNSORTED

SORTED (the default, abbreviated SORT) specifies that the object names should be sorted alphabetically. UNSORTED (abbreviated UNSORT) specifies that the object names should not be sorted alphabetically.

LIKE 'pattern'

Compares the names of the definitions in a workspace to the text pattern you specify and lists the names that match. A definition name is like a text pattern when corresponding characters match. Besides literal matching, LIKE lets you use wildcard characters to match more than one character in a string. An underscore (_) character in a pattern matches any single character. A percent (%) character in a pattern matches zero or more characters.
